The Chuck ToddCast · Interview Only w/ Daniel Silva - A Spy Novelist's Threat Assessment of the Real World · 20 Jul 2026 podcast

He has a summer house in the English countryside.

You got to get out of Venice in the summer.

Too many tourists and too much humidity.

And so those are sort of the dual settings for the series right now.

I've read and studied about the techniques as much as I could in terms of the negotiating techniques and how these, they're called K&R, kidnap and ransom.

These are a select group of individuals who get hired by

Big insurance companies, if you're a business executive or a famous person, most of them carry what's known as K&R insurance, kidnap and ransom insurance.

And when...

you know business executives or whoever are kidnapped here you bring in these guys and they know how to negotiate a deal and so i applied their techniques for negotiation uh to gabriel and he's he's actually a pretty damn good knr specialist and he knows how to negotiate a deal with them i think that that chapter i can't remember what

Which what number it is.

But I tried to do the negotiations like almost like a work of art.

And so I think it's it's very tense, but it's actually a rather beautiful chapter the way he does those negotiations.

We can discuss that later.

It is visual.

But if you analyze the text, though, this is something that I say, if you analyze the text,

um i am not actually describing things in great great great detail i'm i'm writing it in a way with proper point of view that tricks you into seeing it for yourself um and and um

And I'm also cognizant of the fact that that these days, most people sit with a with a book with their phone or their laptop and they're going to that and they're finding every place that you assume that they may.

Sure.
