Synopsis
A Kirkus Best Book of the Year #1 NYT Bestseller #1 USA Bestseller #1 WSJ Bestseller From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Black Widow comes the thrilling new summer blockbuster featuring legendary spy, assassin and art restorer Gabriel Allon. A heart-stopping tale of suspense, Daniel Silva's runaway bestseller, The Black Widow , was one of 2016's biggest novels. Now, in House of Spies , Gabriel Allon is back and out for revenge - determined to hunt down the world's most dangerous terrorist, a shadowy ISIS mastermind known only as Saladin. Four months after the deadliest attack on the American homeland since 9/11, terrorists leave a trail of carnage through London's glittering West End. The attack is a brilliant feat of planning and secrecy, but with one loose thread. The thread leads Gabriel Allon and his team of operatives to the south of France and to the gilded doorstep of Jean-Luc Martel and Olivia Watson. A beautiful former British fashion model, Olivia pretends not to know that the true source of Martel's enormous wealth is drugs. And Martel, likewise, turns a blind eye to the fact he is doing business with a man whose objective is the very destruction of the West. Together, under Gabriel's skilled hand, they will become an unlikely pair of heroes in the global war on terror. Written in seductive and elegant prose, the story moves swiftly from the glamour of Saint-Tropez to the grit of Casablanca and, finally, to an electrifying climax that will leave readers breathless long after they turn the final page. But House of Spies is more than just riveting entertainment; it is a dazzling tale of avarice and redemption, set against the backdrop of the great conflict of our times. And it proves once again why Daniel Silva is "quite simply the best" ( Kansas City Star )., A Kirkus Best Book of the Year #1 NYT Bestseller #1 USA Bestseller #1 WSJ Bestseller From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Black Widow comes the thrilling new summer blockbuster featuring legendary spy, assassin and art restorer Gabriel Allon.

    Got the item extremely well packed and was exactly as described, was well worth the price. It did arrived 2 days later than expected, but this was not the fault of the seller. For some unknown reason the USPS "which has done this twice to me' sent the item to the main USPS hub, then to the north hub, then to the south hub, then back to the north hub, then back to the south hub to be delivered, again this was NOT the seller's fault. Thank you Big Red.

  • Good read for Alon fans.

    Up to Silva's standard of exciting writing! All his books are a good read. Perhaps the change from field operative to chief of office is a little hard to take, but at leas the personal involvement is still there. Would have liked to have had a little more technical details on the functions of the office, but realize that this may stretch the boundaries a little. Nevertheless, a little more about the training methods and background stories would be interesting.

    Good book, but print is too small which makes it a bit difficult to read. It would be great if EBAY offered large print books. I've never seen large print books on this website.

  • Another Amazing Spy Thriller from Silva

    As with all Daniel Silva's novels, it's full of intrigue and surprises. I recommend all of Silva's novels, but especially the Gabriel Allon series. Don't let the number of pages in the book scare you! It's a fast read.
