Talk to the Frackville Library

     The Defector by Daniel Silva. I have always been a big fan of John LeCarre, Len Deighton, and other spy novelists. This genre seems to have diminished somewhat in popularity since the end of the Cold War, but Daniel Silva is still coming up with some cool plots. His Israeli assassin/art restorer, Gabriel Allon, has been intriguing us since 1996, when he first appeared in The Unlikely Spy. In this novel, a continuation of Moscow Rules from 2008, Gabriel is faced with some unfinished business regarding a Russian defector now living in London. As with all of the the series, the novel takes us to many locations in Europe and the Middle East and keeps us on the edge of our seats with non-stop action. The library has several of the latest novels in the series, and others can be obtained through Interlibrary Loan.
