From #1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva comes a stunning new thriller of deception, betrayal, and vengeance.
At an exclusive private school in Switzerland, mystery surrounds the identity of the beautiful raven-haired girl who arrives each morning in a motorcade fit for a head of state. She is said to be the daughter of a wealthy international businessman. In truth, her father is Khalid bin Mohammed, the much-maligned crown prince of Saudi Arabia. Once celebrated for his daring social and religious reforms, he is now reviled for his role in the murder of a dissident journalist. And when his only child is brutally kidnapped, he turns to the one man he can trust to find her before it is too late.
Gabriel Allon, the legendary chief of Israeli intelligence, has spent most of his life fighting terrorists, including the murderous jihadists financed by Saudi Arabia. Prince Khalid—or KBM, as he is known—has pledged to finally break the bond between the Kingdom and radical Islam. For that reason alone, Gabriel regards him as a valuable if flawed partner. Together they will become unlikely allies in a deadly secret war for control of the Middle East. The life of a child, and the throne of Saudi Arabia, hang in the balance. Both men have made their share of enemies. And both have everything to lose.
Filled with dark humor, breathtaking twists of plot, and an unforgettable cast of characters, The New Girl is both a thrilling, page-turning tale of entertainment and a sophisticated study of political alliances and great-power rivalries in a dangerous world. And it is once again proof that Gabriel Allon is “one of fiction’s greatest spies”.
From Daniel Silva, the No.1 New York Times bestselling author, comes a modern masterpiece of espionage, love, and betrayal.
She was his best-kept secret …
In an isolated village in the mountains of Andalusia, a mysterious Frenchwoman begins work on a dangerous memoir. It is the story of a man she once loved in the Beirut of old, and a child taken from her in treason’s name. The woman is the keeper of the Kremlin’s most closely guarded secret. Long ago, the KGB inserted a mole into the heart of the West – a mole who stands on the doorstep of ultimate power.
Only one man can unravel the conspiracy: Gabriel Allon, the legendary art restorer and assassin who serves as the chief of Israel’s vaunted secret intelligence service. Gabriel has battled the dark forces of the new Russia before, at great personal cost. Now he and the Russians will engage in a final epic showdown, with the fate of the postwar global order hanging in the balance.

The violent death of a journalist leads secret agent Gabriel Allon
to Russia. But this is not the grim Moscow of Soviet times, but a
new Moscow, awash in oil wealth and in thrall to a new generation
of rich Stalinists plotting to challenge an old enemy: the United
States. One such man is Ivan Kharkov, a former KGB colonel whose
global empire is built on a lucrative and deadly business. Kharkov
is an arms dealer - and he's about to sell Russia's most dangerous
weapon to al-Qaeda. Unless Allon can learn the time and place of
delivery, the world will suffer its deadliest terror attack since
9/11. The countdown to Armageddon has begun . . .
When a terrorist returns to take revenge - watch out! The chief of
Israeli Intelligence recalls two former agents in order to
eliminate a top Palestinian terrorist. One agent is now an art

to destroy the Arab Black September group, they were briefly
lovers. Now their pasts and their enemies come back to haunt them,
as the terrorist murders ambassadors in Paris and Holland. Will the
Israeli-Palestinian peace talks be his next target? And what
motivates the terrorist? Is it politics, or is it possibly
personal? Set mainly in London, but with forays into Paris,
Amsterdam, the Middle East and north America, this thriller has all
Daniel Silva's hallmarks of strong characters, unusual backgrounds
and a page-turning narrative.
