Synopsis "The Messenger (Gabriel Allon Novels) "

On the trail of a deadly al-Qaeda operative, Gabriel Allon returns in a spellbinding story of deception, power, and revenge by the #1 New York Times bestselling world-class practitioner of spy fiction (Washington Post). Gabriel Allon--art restorer and spy--is about to face the greatest challenge of his life. An al-Qaeda suspect is killed in London, and photographs are found on his computer--photographs that lead Israeli intelligence to suspect that al-Qaeda is planning one of its most audacious attacks ever, aimed straight at the heart of the Vatican. Allon and his colleagues soon find themselves in a deadly duel of wits against one of the most dangerous men in the world--a hunt that will take them across Europe to the Caribbean and back. But for them, there may not be enough of anything: enough time, enough facts, enough luck. All Allon can do is set his trap--and hope that he is not the one caught in it.

This experience deeply marked his worldview and literary approach

In 1997, Silva published his first novel, The Unlikely Spy, which received excellent reviews and marked the beginning of a prolific literary career.

Allon became the protagonist of a series of more than 20 novels, including acclaimed works like The English Assassin (2002), The New Girl (2019), and The Order (2020)
