About this listen

Gabriel Allon, art restorer and spy, is about to face the greatest challenge of his life.

Allon is recovering from his grueling showdown with a Palestinian master terrorist, when terrorism comes to find him once again. An al-Qaeda suspect is killed in London, and photographs are found on his computer - photographs that lead Israeli intelligence to suspect that al-Qaeda is planning one of its most audacious attacks ever, straight at the heart of the Vatican.

Allon warns his old friend, Monsignor Luigi Donati, the pope's private secretary, and rushes to Rome to assist in security. But what neither he nor Donati knows is that the Vatican has been thoroughly penetrated. An extraordinary enemy walks among them...and he's just getting started.

In the days and weeks to come, Allon and his colleagues will find themselves in a deadly duel of wits against one of the most dangerous men in the world - and a hunt that will take them across Europe to the Caribbean and back.

But for them, there may simply not be enough of anything: enough time, enough facts, enough luck. All Allon can do is set his trap - and hope that he is not the one caught in it.

I loved this book!

Another hit for Silva! The narrator was pretty good this time. He made Gabriell sound older than his age and the ending was a bit rushed but none the less I found it more enjoyable than listening to my favorite talk radio heads or late night Leno. I had to download the next book Secret Servant. I know you will love listening to this book and it will leave you thrusting to download the next book. I am hooked!

Outstanding as always.

Narrator top notch.
Refreshing that no swear or cuss words needed to empathize a situation.
Storyline flowed flawlessly.
Have listened to this audio before and all of Silva’s works since.

Spell binding

Every book with Gabriel Allon keeps me spellbound. It is also very interesting to learn more about the middle east and europe and their relationships. The books are informative and extremely interesting. Lots of characters are introduced and the plot comes at you from varying points of view.

Another Silva masterpiece

Daniel Silva has grown to be my favorite author with his wonderful novels of Gabriel Allon, and this one was no exception. Terrific action, wonderful plot, lots of realistic information about Saudi oil money and the terrorism it supports, and the precarious position of modern day Israel in international politics. I highly recommend all the Gabriel Allon books, and look forward to this one which is supposed to be the first made into a motion picture.
