About this item

A terrorist plot in London leads Israeli spy Gabriel Allon on a desperate search for a kidnapped woman in this thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva. While in Amsterdam, Israeli intelligence officer and master art restorer Gabriel Allon discovers a plot that is about to explode in the middle of London. The daughter of the American ambassador is to be brutally kidnapped. But Gabriel arrives too late to save her. And when he reveals his face to the plot’s masterminds, his fate is sealed as well. Drawn once more into the service of American intelligence, Gabriel desperately searches for the missing woman as the clock ticks steadily toward the hour of her execution. The search will thrust him into an unlikely alliance with a man who has lost everything because of his devotion to Islam. It will cause him to question the morality of the tactics of his trade. And it might very well cost him his life… A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year Praise “Allon is Israel’s Jack Bauer…Thrill factor:*****.”— USA Today “The action moves quickly, the subject matter feels impressively current, and Silva’s multidimensional characters seem instantly like old friends.”— The Washington Post “A rollicking espionage thriller.”— The Columbus Dispatch “A compelling thriller…It would be difficult indeed to find a more timely novel on a more urgent topic than The Secret Servant . May there be many more novels featuring Gabriel Allon.”— Tampa Tribune “Harrowing international intrigue, all the more so for being so topical.”— New York Daily News “Nobody handles this kind of intrigue as well Silva. He gives Gabriel and the rest of his team the kind of depth seen only in spy novels by Robert Ludlum and Tom Clancy.”— Richmond Times Dispatch
