House of Spies by
Daniel Silva is the seventeenth book featuring Gabriel Allon, a Mossad agent
who was first recruited after the terror at the Berlin Olympics. Since then he
has been a top agent who wants nothing more than to be a paint restorer and
spend quiet time with his family. If only the world would allow it.
Gabriel is now the head of the office. Most chiefs stay in
Jerusalem and run things from a desk. But Gabriel has a personal reason to need
to catch the ISIS terrorist calling himself Saladin. One of his bomb killed a
friend in Paris. Gabriel will join his team in Europe to track any trace of the
terror mastermind.
Christopher Keller, ex-SAS, will give the team a criminal
element needed to catch a criminal. Keller has been living in Corsica working
for a mafia don and has connections to the underside of Europe.
Silva is an amazing writer who grabs readers with the first
paragraph. His characters are compelling, his plots sometimes a bit too close
to our current reality, and his twists and turns are the work of a master
planner. Anyone who likes to read needs to read a Daniel Silva book. Start at
the beginning with The Kill Artist or
read his stand along spy masterpiece TheUnlikely Spy.
Silva, Daniel. (2017). House
