The Cellist was galvanising. As a latecomer to Daniel Silva's Gabriel Allon series and completely away from my reading genre, I am now totally hooked. I have worked my way through the series and have really enjoyed the thrilling but at times chilling storyline. Regardless of reference to real life situations I embrace the writing style of mixing fact and fiction without prejudice. The world is a dangerous place but it can be a beautiful place and it is superbly and sensitively described throughout Mr Silva's books. Thank you Daniel and Gabriel
