“Silva provides plenty of thrills. . . . A smart summer escape.” -Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Just because Gabriel retired doesn’t mean that his story ends. . . . This battle is no less thrilling than those he fought as a spy. And the sneaky twist at the end puts the icing on the cake. You won’t see it coming.” -Bookreporter.com

“Stylish, sophisticated, and ingeniously plotted, Portrait of an Unknown Woman is a wildly entertaining journey through the dirty side of the art world. . . . From its elegant opening passage to the shocking twists of its climax, the novel is a tour de force of storytelling and among the finest pieces of heist fiction ever written. And it is still more proof that, when it comes to international intrigue and suspense, Daniel Silva has no equal.” -UChicago Arts

“Silva is that rarity of rarities, a writer whose stories just keep getting better.”— -Huffington Post
