Today Show: Daniel Silva The English Girl Review
Author Daniel Silva just released a new thriller, The English Girl, a story about an investigator that has only seven days to find a kidnapped rising British star. Amazon called the book the best book of the month, and though Daniel said that he tries not to pay too much attention to critics, he was very flattered because of the review. He thought it hit on all the parts of the book that he liked the most.
The English Girl starts with a beautiful island and a beautiful girl that disappears on it. Madelyn Hart is a rising star in the British parliament, but has a dirty little secret: an ongoing affair with the British Prime Minister. Not knowing if Madelyn’s disappearance may lead to the revealing of their affair together, he goes into a panicked state. The clock is ticking to find her.
