From Amazon.com

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.


From Library Journal

For his second thriller, Silva turns from World War II (The Unlikely Spy, LJ 12/96) to a modern intelligence milieu with corrupt government officials and wealthy special interests. The title character, October, is a contract master assassin released by the KGB 30 years ago. CIA agent Michael Osbourne, a terrorism expert, saw October kill his girlfriend and badly wants to capture him. Then the investigation of a missile-downed airliner off the coast of Long Island reveals a body with three shots to the faceAOctober's signature. Osbourne's need to attend to his marriage while trying to stop October's completion of a multiple-hit contract and to uncover those financing it lead to a violent denouement. With concise, vivid character sketches, Silva weaves a swiftly paced, internationally tangled plot. Fans of Ludlum and Forsyth will look for this Literary Guild selection.

1.0étoiles sur 5 The Left's Tom Clancy, Avril 19 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: Mark Of The Assassin (Paperback)
Let's see, a stupid Republican US Chief Executive who is a patsy for his right-wing handlers, a psycho born-again Christian defense contractor who (God forbid) gets on his knees to pray, a crusading left-wing journalist and the token liberal attorney from a conservative Washington law firm - - can you say "caricature"? Throw in some female careerist infertility and you have the makings of yet another Silva thriller. Can't say I got beyond page 100 in this one. I like a good spy thriller like the next gal, but the stereotypes are over the top on this one, which sent me to the in-flight magazine in the seat pocket in front of me.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Be wary of uninformed reviews!, Aoû 22 2004
Par Simon (Richmond, Virginia) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Mark of the Assassin: A Novel (Paperback)
This book was first published in 1998, approximately three years before the horror...therefore it cannot be an allegory of the post attack world because it was written before those attacks occured. For credibility...I remember reading this novel in August of 2001.
Take it for what it is: an entertaining (though formulaic) international thriller.

5.0étoiles sur 5 One of the Best Recent Spy Thrillers, Jui 24 2004
This review is from: Mark Of The Assassin (Paperback)
Silva's book isn't perfect, but it's a darn good read nonetheless. His writing is far better than most spy thriller writers and is peppered with exotic European locales and interesting characters. This is a thriller for those who snooze through all the techno mumbo-jumbo of Clancy's books and their ilk. This is more of a character-driven thriller in the tradition of the better Robert Ludlum books. Excitement without the special effects. There are, of course, a few overused plot devices in this one, but all in all it's quite a fun read.
