Description
A terrorist plot in London leads Israeli spy Gabriel Allon on a desperate search for a kidnapped woman in this thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva.
While in Amsterdam, Israeli intelligence officer and master art restorer Gabriel Allon discovers a plot that is about to explode in the middle of London. The daughter of the American ambassador is to be brutally kidnapped. But Gabriel arrives too late to save her. And when he reveals his face to the plot’s masterminds, his fate is sealed as well.
Drawn once more into the service of American intelligence, Gabriel desperately searches for the missing woman as the clock ticks steadily toward the hour of her execution. The search will thrust him into an unlikely alliance with a man who has lost everything because of his devotion to Islam. It will cause him to question the morality of the tactics of his trade. And it might very well cost him his life…

5By Luc in MNYet another great book from this author. Plausible scenario, excellent writing with lots of detail making it even more readable. As a Western European, I felt transported to all these cities and could easily visualize every spot. Great book, page turner. Buy this book!The secret servant

5By JYinFODaniel Silva does not disappoint. Another engrossing read in the Gabriel Allon series.One of his best
5By SirpdpI think this is one of Silva's best works. I wish I had started reading the Gabriel Allon series from the beginning, though. I've caught up now and can't wait to read the rest of the series. Silva seems to predict current events and the direction of our war against terrorists before they happen.All

5By OtreraExcellent read and a warning to us all of what is happening with the growth and expansion of Islamic fundamentalism, particularly in Europe. Daniel Silva is incredible.Another awesome read
5By Redsoxnumba1Silva keeps getting better and better. Provides Allon with deep personality and puts the human side of things not just the blood n guts. I am hooked on Silva and his books have cost me many hours of sleep.
