    Absolute page turner. Probably the best (and it’s hard to rate) of the Gabriel Allon series. This time it’s up close and personal for Gabriel, as he confronts an evil that rips apart his past, present . . .and maybe? His future. The book has all the typical tradecraft and Mossad, CIA, MI5 stuff you would expect, plus you get a good glimpse of the lives of the people who pull off the impossible. “By means of deception, shalt thou wage war.” Start it on a Friday - done by Saturday night without sleeping!

    From the first Daniel Silva book, The Kill Artist, I have been fascinated with his writing ability. I have read everyone of his works and never been disappointed.
    I am only disappointed when the book is done and I have to wait for him to write another.
    I can only hope that the relationships between the Israelis,
    Americans and British are as good as he portrays them in his novels.
    The characters are spellbinding, and Gabriel Allon, as a restorer of great art just kicks it up a notch, giving a whole other dimension to his character.
    I hope to be able to continue to follow Gabriel on his quest for good vs evil in many more books to come.

    Another great adventure with Gabriel and co. A ripping tale of international espionage and cruelty. An
    Into-the-night page tuner. Excellent tale of valor and nobility.

    An absolutely fascinating story. I am hooked on Daniel's writing. His research is always well done and lends so much to the story.

    Mr. Silva leads the reader into each chapter in a way that makes one feel a part of the story.

    A very satisfying and thrilling follow-up to Moscow Rules, make sure you have time because you will not be able to put this book down or click the off button on your iPad or Kindle! Simply, a rich treasure of characters with a thrilling and realistic storyline that reflects Silva's excellent grasp of spinning a tale of espionage with a depth only a few current writers in this genre share.
    Enjoy!
