In the aftermath of an Amsterdam-based terrorism analyst's brutal murder by a Muslim immigrant, Gabriel Allon investigates sobering clues pertaining to the victim, in a case with ties to a secret terrorist organization and the abduction of an ambassador's daughter.
Bestseller Silva's superlative seventh novel to feature Gabriel Allon, the legendary but wayward son of Israeli Intelligence, puts Silva squarely atop the spy thriller heap. When Solomon Rosner, a professor in Amsterdam who's also a secret Israeli asset, is assassinated for his strident reports and articles detailing the dangers of militant Islam within the Netherlands, Gabriel gets the job to clean out the professor's files. In Amsterdam, the Israeli agent and his old partner, Eli Lavon, unearth a plot that leads to the kidnapping by Islamic extremists of the daughter of the U.S. ambassador in London. While most intelligence agencies consider Gabriel persona non grata because of his unorthodox methods and the trail of bodies he leaves in his wake, he once again proves invaluable as he and his stalwart team hunt down some of Israel's—and the world's—most violent enemies. While you don't have to have read the earlier books in the series (The Messenger, etc.), knowing the history of the returning characters adds depth and color to the overall story.
Silva specializes in thrillers of international terror—a subgenre that some readers feel can be exploitative and sensationalistic, playing at terror for titillation in a post-9/11 era that really needs none. But within this squirm-producing takeoff on real events, Silva is an adept craftsman and chronicler (though his own views are often stridently presented). What really works in his novels, though, is his main character, Gabriel Allon, whose name indicates his aloneness, both in his personal life, with a wife in a psychiatric hospital and a dead son, and professionally, since he is an agent in Israel's Special Operations branch of the Foreign Intelligence Service. What makes Allon so interesting is his straight-life profession as an art restorer (he specializes in Italian Old Masters); his work gets him through many barred doors and enhances his ability to remember visual details. This time out, the murder of a sociology professor, whose recent book asserts that Holland is under attack by jihadist Islam, sends Allon to Amsterdam, where he cleans out the professor's files and discovers that five members of an Amsterdam mosque have disappeared and are plotting something big. Meanwhile, Allon is charged with finding the kidnapped daughter of the American ambassador to London. This fast-paced international espionage tale suffers a bit from clichéd prose, but it's compulsive reading nonetheless.
