An Evening with Daniel Silva, #1 NYT Bestselling Author
Presented by Midtown Reader (Online)
Tuesday, July 14, 2020 



For the first time ever, this book tour is happening at Daniel's house and you are invited via Crowdcast to join him live. Midtown Reader is so excited to be one of 12 indie bookstores in the country (and the only one in Florida) able to participate in this incredible opportunity.   

The event will include a peek behind the scenes at where Daniel works-where he keeps all those yellow legal pads and just how he sharpens his secret stash of pencils. Best of all, Daniel will be ready and waiting to answer your questions about  "The Order". (And you never know, Gabriel and Chiara may just make a surprise visit in his kitchen.)
