Annotation:
An academic who has joined the war effort full force, Alfred Vicary is employed to mislead German intelligence about the true target of the Allies D-Day attack. He must convince a besotted American Naval officer that his girlfriend is really a German spy, in fact a very good one who seems to outwit Vicary at every turn.

Praise
Kirkus Reviews
"A fine, twisty tale of military intelligence, notable for graceful prose, credibly motivated characters, and evocative detail. 11/01/1996 Washington Post Book World
"Silva manages to endow all the secondary characters with memorable style. His writing is clear and evocative, and the world at war comes vividly alive in the pages of 'The Unlikely Spy.' Silva is also adept at devising all the layers of intrigue that make a good spy novel work....Finding the truth behind the blankets of deception is a tricky, maddening experience. Silva understands this and creates a richly murky atmosphere that serves his tale well." 01/02/1997 New York Times
"Mr. Silva's cast of secondary characters is especially strong, and he has a knack for allowing the unforeseen, the accidental, the all-too-human to intrude, pushing the plot in an unexpected direction." - Richard Bernstein 01/08/1997
