Publisher's Summary

One of AudioFile Magazine's Best Audiobooks of 2016.

Number one New York Times best-selling author Daniel Silva delivers another stunning thriller in his latest action-packed tale of high stakes international intrigue featuring the inimitable Gabriel Allon.

Legendary spy Gabriel Allon is poised to become the chief of Israel’s secret intelligence service. But on the eve of his promotion, ISIS detonate a massive bomb in the Marais district of Paris, and a desperate French government want Gabriel to eliminate the man responsible.

They call him Saladin....

He is a terrorist mastermind, whose network communicates in total secrecy, leaving Gabriel no choice but to insert an agent into the most dangerous terrorist group the world has ever known. An extraordinary young doctor, she must pose as an ISIS recruit in waiting, a ticking time bomb, a black widow out for blood.

Gruesome spy thriller won’t disappoint

Very well paced thriller with plot details carefully revealed to the listener to portray a gruesome and terrible drama that feels very close to reality. Excellent performance.
