Product Description:
Former Israeli intelligence operative Gabriel Allon is drawn back into the game to take on a cunning terrorist on one last killing spree, a Palestinian zealot who played a dark part in Gabriel's past. And what begins as a manhunt turns into a globe-spanning duel fueled by both political intrigue and deep personal passions...
Amazon.com Review:
Fans of Daniel Silva's well-received earlier novels, especially The Marching Season, will welcome his newest novel of espionage, revenge, and Middle Eastern politics. Gabriel Allon is an art restorer who's persuaded out of retirement by Ari Shamron, the crafty Israeli spymaster bent on a deadly mission: killing a Palestinian agent named Tariq before he can carry out his plan to assassinate an old comrade-in-arms, the treacherous peacemaker Yasir Arafat.
Tariq's role in the murder of Gabriel's wife and son draws both Gabriel and Sarah Halevy, the beautiful French model whose affair with Gabriel led to the assassination of his family. Still in love with Gabriel, Sarah allows herself to be set up with a cover and infiltrated into Tariq's inner circle. But before Gabriel can rescue her and fulfill his mission, Tariq turns the tables to get his old adversary as well as Arafat in his own sights. A particularly resonant scene in which Tariq and Arafat confront each other and discuss their former friendship, as well as the change in tactics that has brought Tariq to the ultimate betrayal, reveals Silva's deep comprehension of Palestinian rivalries. He puts a clever little fillip on the ending that adds to the brio of this strongly paced thriller. Silva creates complex, fascinating characters in Gabe, Ari, and Tariq, and more than fulfills the promise of his earlier books. --Jane Adams

This series was recommended to me by a friend, and she was 100% right. The writing is excellent and I promise it will keep you turning the pages and looking forward to the next book in the series. I definitely recommend it.

Gabriel Allon is, arguably, one of the most fascinating characters devised in works of espionage and this was the initial book in the ongoing series. As with all of the stoties by the writer, the characters are richly developed and the plot is a very complex one with numerous turns existing. The witer is able to handle numerous plotlines in different parts of the world in a most skillful manner. One is able to visualize the characters as real people and empathize with their reasons for reacting as ... Read More

I found Daniel Silva on amazon as I find most of the authors that I end up reading; by perusing what other people who are reading the same book as I are reading. Anyway, this was an above-average spy thriller that pitted a retired Israeli agent against a militant Palestinian who was/is bent on destroying the Middle East peace process. Since this book was written almost 8 years ago and there is still no "peace" in the Middle East this book is just as interesting today as it was when it was written. ... Read More

I had previously read two of the books in this series so I was familiar with most of the characters. One of those previous books was The Messenger which was a real five star thriller.
Silva does an outstanding job in painting his characters so that it is easy for the reader to feel like he/she knows them. This and his writing style makes for an easy read where you don't have to turn back to earlier pages to relate anything . . . you can just keep reading.
Things really get suspenseful ... Read More

Hello, Gabriel Allon, you've become a welcome addition to my life.
You really need to get married, though. No spy females, please.
Your creator is as smooth as a vodka gimlet made of France's Grey Goose vodka.
I love this review by Christine Cunningham:[...]
Following the standard rule of rounding, four and a half stars becomes five.
And who says we need to forgive the murderers of our son, the maimers of our wife? Gabriel does in Tariq in the end, ... Read More
