The New Girl by Daniel Silva is the nineteenth book in his Gabriel Allon espionage
series. If you have not started this series yet, start today!
At an exclusive private school in Switzerland, a girl begins the
term late. She is quite and a bit different than the other students. First of
all she has her own security even though the school has its own – many children
of important people attend this school. Secondly, one teacher thinks the girl
is not who she says she is; not even her name seems real. Then the girl is
gone.
Sarah Bancroft manages the Nadia Al-Bacari collection at the Met.
When a wealthy collector she has worked with reaches out to her it is not to
buy a painting. It is to set up a meeting between him and Gabriel Allon.
Somehow Khalid ben Mohammed, crown prince of Saudi Arabia, knows that Sarah is
former FBI and has worked with Allon. KBM is desperate to meet a man whom most
in Saudia Arabia think is the devil. Because his daughter has been kidnapped.
Silva is a masterful storyteller. Readers are hooked by the end of
the first paragraph. This is on of the best fiction series, hands down.
