A Kirkus Best Book of the Year

#1 NYT Bestseller

#1 USA Bestseller

#1 WSJ Bestseller

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Black Widow comes the thrilling new summer blockbuster featuring legendary spy, assassin and art restorer Gabriel Allon.

A heart-stopping tale of suspense, Daniel Silva's runaway bestseller, The Black Widow, was one of 2016's biggest novels. Now, in House of Spies, Gabriel Allon is back and out for revenge â?? determined to hunt down the world's most dangerous terrorist, a shadowy ISIS mastermind known only as Saladin.

Four months after the deadliest attack on the American homeland since 9/11, terrorists leave a trail of carnage through London's glittering West End. The attack is a brilliant feat of planning and secrecy, but with one loose thread.

The thread leads Gabriel Allon and his team of operatives to the south of France and to the gilded doorstep of Jean-Luc Martel and Olivia Watson. A beautiful former British fashion model, Olivia pretends not to know that the true source of Martel's enormous wealth is drugs. And Martel, likewise, turns a blind eye to the fact he is doing business with a man whose objective is the very destruction of the West. Together, under Gabriel's skilled hand, they will become an unlikely pair of heroes in the global war on terror.

Written in seductive and elegant prose, the story moves swiftly from the glamour of Saint-Tropez to the grit of Casablanca and, finally, to an electrifying climax that will leave readers breathless long after they turn the final page.

But House of Spies is more than just riveting entertainment; it is a dazzling tale of avarice and redemption, set against the backdrop of the great conflict of our times. And it proves once again why Daniel Silva is "quite simply the best" (Kansas City Star).… (plus d'informations)

Terrorists

Previously, there have been horrific bombings in Paris and Washington, D.C. At the beginning of this book another bombing happens in the West End of London with hundreds of theater goers and people eating out in restaurants killed. Gabriel Allon has just taken over as spy chief in Israel at the Office. Christopher Keller, Alias Peter Marlowe, is recruited by MI6 to go after the latest threat, Saladin. At his meeting with the French head of Alpha Group, the headquarters is bombed and Gabriel is injured again. Gabriel goes about creating his usual elaborate and expensive cover story for his plants, Mikael Abramov and Natalia, posing as husband and wife in a huge chateau in Saint Tropez, France. Next he begins turning people to the cause of finding and eliminating Saladin, and Iraqi terrorist. ( )

These books are amazing. They hold my interest and don't make previous characters do or say things that they wouldn't. Also, new characters are introduced in a completely plausible way. ( )

A more accurate rating would be 3.75, minus 0.25 for how Christopher Keller mysteriously ended up working for MI6 and how Silva conveniently got Don Orsati to look for the Scorpion. A little bit of elucidation would have satisfied the uncontented me (I don't think I missed anything in the plot that would have explained both). Other than this, I do like this Allon book. Not so heavy on Allon's feelings and hence a tighter plot with fast unraveling action. I also like that there is finally a good ending and Silva accounted for the rehabilitation of Natalie. How brave she was facing Saladin, staying calm and not flinching at all. ( )

Allon and his usual allies try to kill the man responsible for a deadly terrorist attack in London. The connection between drug trafficking and terrorism is pointed out. A beautiful young woman who has done bad things has a chance for redemption. There is hint of a possible romance for a recurring character. ( )
