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).
