Bestselling author Daniel Silva delivers another spellbinding international thriller—one that finds the legendary Gabriel Allon grappling with an ISIS mastermind.

Gabriel Allon, the art restorer, spy, and assassin described as the most compelling fictional creation "since Ian Fleming put down his martini and invented James Bond" (Rocky Mountain News), is poised to become the chief of Israel’s secret intelligence service. But on the eve of his promotion, events conspire to lure him into the field for one final operation. ISIS has detonated a massive bomb in the Marais district of Paris, and a desperate French government wants Gabriel to eliminate the man responsible before he can strike again.

Acclaimed novelist Daniel Silva has thrilled, entertained and educated readers with eighteen thoughtful and gripping spy novels featuring a diverse cast of compelling characters and ingenious plots that have taken them around the globe and back—from the United States to Europe, Russia to the Middle East. From its shocking opening to its explosive denouement in Washington, D.C., The Black Widow reveals itself as Silva’s most timely and powerful novel yet. Following the success of his smash hit The English Spy, this electrifying thriller showcases Silva’s consummate skill and brilliant imagination, and is sure to be a must read for his multitude of current and future fans.

    This is my eighth completed Danial Silva novel and they get better and better. This was the best. Very topical, great narrative, wonderful descriptions and thoroughly researched. Fast paced when it needed and slow paced when reflection was required. Great read.

    Silva again writes a thrilling read. While fiction, it exposes so many truths about the real threats we face today as a society. Big fan of all of his works.

    This Silva novel is one of his best, however it bugs me that he continues to idolize the Israelis. Several have praised him for telling "real" the story of the turmoil in the Middle East. However, he completely ignores the 500 pound gorilla in the room: Israel's illegal and immoral plundering and humiliation of the Palestinians in the occupied territories. This more than anything fuels the Arabs hatred of Israel and America.

    The Gabriel Alon books are so well written and so real. Gabriel is a top notch operator but also human and this is what gives this character life. I'm wondering if the next installment will be with him running the office and Michael out in the field. I wait with baited breath for the next great book.
