Description
London, 1593: It is three weeks before the murder of Christopher Marlowe, playwright and spy in Queen Elizabeth I's secret service -- a crime that remains unsolved to this day. Marlowe is hoping to find his missing muse as he sets off on a new intelligence assignment...and closes in on the secret that will seal his fate.
New York City, present day: Renaissance scholar turned private eye Kate Morgan investigates a shocking heist and murder involving a mysterious, antique manuscript recently unearthed in central London. What secret lurks in those yellowed, ciphered pages...and how, centuries later, could it drive someone to kill?
Propelling us from the shadows of the sixteenth-century underworld to the chambers of a clandestine U.S. intelligence unit, from the glitter of the Elizabethan court to the catacombs of ancient Rome, The Intelligencer's dual narratives twist, turn, and collide as they race toward a stunning finale.

Browse Inside The IntelligencerGayle Lynds bestselling author of The Coil An unforgettable tale of espionage and high-level politics played across time and continents.
David Liss bestselling author of The Coffee Trader Impressively learned and absorbingly entertaining. A fast-paced, engaging and witty thriller.
Lee Child bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series This is terrific -- an intelligent, graceful, sophisticated novel that packs a real thriller's punch, like an iron fist in a velvet glove. Lead character Kate Morgan -- like author Leslie Silbert, I suspect -- has the mind of a scholar and the heart of a bare-knuckle street fighter. Very highly recommended
-- think Shakespeare in Love meets James Bond.
Margaret George bestselling author of Mary Queen of Scotland and the Isles A fast-paced, entertaining romp through the worlds of both the Elizabethan literary scene and twenty-first century espionage. Exciting, engrossing, amusing, informative
-- fun from beginning to end!
David Morrell bestselling author of The Protector A fascinating blend of Renaissance espionage and modern intrigue. Codes and puzzles in abundance. If you liked The Da Vinci Code, you'll love The Intelligencer.
Sharon K. Penman bestselling author of The Dragon's Lair This book should come with a "Dangerous" label, for once you pick it up, you cannot put it down. I missed book deadlines, forgot to pay bills, gave up sleep for the duration, and it is all Leslie Silbert's fault!
Jack Devine former Acting Director for Operations at the CIA An artful and ingenious blend of Elizabethan history and twenty-first century espionage by a gifted and insightful observer of the age-old dark side of intelligence.
