The Mark of the Assassin description
Bestselling novelist Daniel Silva (author of The Unlikely Spy) draws upon his experience as a foreign correspondent and a Washington journalist in The Mark of the Assassin. Set in London, Cairo, Amsterdam, and Washington, the story line follows CIA case agent Michael Osbourne as he attempts to locate the terrorists who shot down an airliner off the coast of Long Island. Osbourne has two main antagonists: Delaroche, a KGB-trained expert assassin ordered to kill the handful of people who know the truth, including Osbourne, and the corrupt political culture of Washington, which ominously stymies him at every turn. There's a love story at the core of this book, as well as a brave attempt by Osbourne to reconcile a mystery in his past with a present he has not fully accepted. The prose is slick, and readers will find themselves racing through these pages as the body count grows and the conclusion nears. The Mark of the Assassin is a worthy effort from a rising star. |

♥♥♥♥♥ |
Michael Osbourne, you are no Gabriel Allon
|
| Maybe its because I read this after reading 7 Gabriel Allon books back to back, but this earlier work of Silva's can't hold a candle to the newer series. Michael Osbourne is an adequate protaganist, but he pales in comparison to Gabriel. His wife is whiny, the intrigue only fair, and the descriptions and metaphors still on the brink of what they will become in "The Kill Artist" and those that follow. |
