I'm reading a really good one by
Daniel Silva - The Kill Artist. Finally getting around to trying his Gabriel Allon series; heard that it's best to start with the first book. I think I'm in love with Allon. I'm amazed at the research Silva must have had to do. I couldn't believe one of his characters talking about how the Zionist Jews had slaughtered/obliterated a small Arab town in Palestine, Deir Yassin, apparently as a warning to other Arabs that if they did not leave Palestine, they would meet a similar fate. But Wikipedia writes about it as a true event. Hard to understand how the Jews could have been so cruel after knowing what had happened to their friends and families under the Nazis.
Also Silva must have done a lot of traveling, as he writes about places and neiborhoods you'd have to have been there to know about in Amsterdam, France, London, Lisbon, and other places. Makes for an interesting read, and altho the book is fairly long, it keeps me turning pages to see what will happen next. I'll read more in this series.
