In the #1 "New York Times" bestseller "Moscow Rules," Gabriel Allon
brought down the most dangerous man in the world. But he made one
mistake. Leaving him alive...
Over the course of a brilliant career, Daniel Silva has
established himself as the "gold standard" of thriller writers
("Dallas Morning News"), a "master writer of espionage and
intrigue" (The Cincinnati Enquirer), and the creator of "some of
the most exciting spy fiction since Ian Fleming put down his
martini and invented James Bond" ("Rocky Mountain News"). Now Silva
takes that fiction-and his hero, the enigmatic art restorer and
assassin Gabriel Allon-to a whole new level, delivering a riveting
tale of vengeance that entertains as well as enlightens.
Six months after the dramatic conclusion of "Moscow Rules,"
Gabriel has returned to the tan hills of Umbria to resume his
honeymoon with his new wife, Chiara, and restore a
seventeenth-century altarpiece for the Vatican. But his idyllic
world is once again thrown into turmoil with shocking news from
London. The defector and former Russian intelligence officer
Grigori Bulganov, who saved Gabriel's life in Moscow, has vanished
without a trace. British intelligence is sure he was a double agent
all along, but Gabriel knows better. He also knows he made a
promise.
"Do you know what we do with traitors, Gabriel? Many things have
changed in Russia since the fall of Communism. But the punishment
for betrayal remains the same. Promise me one thing, Gabriel.
Promise me I won't end up in an unmarked grave."
In the days to come, Gabriel and his team of operatives will find
themselves in a deadly duel of nerve and wits with one of the
world's most ruthless men: the murderous Russian oligarch and arms
dealer Ivan Kharkov. It will take him from a quiet mews in London,
to the shores of Lake Como, to the glittering streets of Geneva and
Zurich, and, finally, to a heart-stopping climax in the snowbound
birch forests of Russia. Faced with the prospect of losing the one
thing he holds most dear, Gabriel will be tested in ways he never
imagined possible. And his life will never be the same.
Filled with breathtaking turns of plot and sophisticated prose,
and populated by a remarkable cast of characters, "The Defector" is
more than the most explosive thriller of the year. It is a searing
tale of love, vengeance and courage created by the writer whom the
critics call "the perfect guide to the dangerous forces shaping our
world" ("Orlando Sentinel"). And it is Daniel Silva's finest novel
yet.
