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 terrorism.

The Saga Continues. submitted by GJBarnett2 on July 24, 2017, 11:07am Top-of-the-line action adventure series! Well-written, interesting plot lines, even actual character development. But don't read this one... at least until after you've gone back to the first in this series and have read them in order. Due to the progress of the protagonist Gabirel Allon's career, he plays a far different role in this than in the earlier novels in this series which I found even more interesting. Even so, this serves well on its own as a "free-standing" novel. Highly recommended!
