Gabriel Allon, master art restorer and sometime officer of Israeli intelligence, is sent to Amsterdam to purge the archives of a murdered terrorism analyst, Solomon Rosner. While in Amsterdam he uncovers a plot to kidnap Elizabeth Halton, daughter of the American Ambassador to England. Warnings to British authorities are not acted upon in time and Allon gets to the scene just as Elizabeth Halton is being kidnapped by terrorists. We follow Allon as he and his team crisscross Europe in hopes of rescuing her before the terrorists kill her.
Silva has given us an exciting novel that provides some background on the plight of the Islamic and Israeli world in the East and throughout Europe. -Reviewed by Rosie
