Ransom is Daniel Silva’s 13th New York Times #1 best seller this week. He is the American John le Carré, the spy novelist of our lifetime. Yep, he’s that good… Full disclosure: he and his wife, Jamie Gangel, the award-winning CNN Washington correspondent, are great friends. Danny was also a serious reporter, a former Middle East correspondent in Cairo, and an Executive Producer at CNN. That’s what makes his work more authentic to me. His writing was inspired by journalist authors like Hemingway. Ransom moves around Europe from London to Ibiza effortlessly. It’s a sensational summer read… just saying.
