Description
Teroristi Islamske države ponovno za sobom ostavljaju krvavi trag. Ovaj je put njihova meta blještavi londonski West End. Napad je obilježen briljantnim planiranjem i tajnovitošću, ali ipak s jednom slabom točkom: francusko-marokanskim uličnim kriminalcem koji je za napad nabavio automatske puške. Taj trag Gabriela Allona i njegov tim operativaca odvodi na jug Francuske, do pozlaćenog praga vile Jeana-Luca Martela i Olivije Watson. Lijepa britanska bivša manekenka, Olivia, pokušava se činiti slijepom na činjenicu da je pravi izvor Martelova neizmjernog bogatstva zapravo trgovina drogom. A Martel jednako tako okreće glavu od spoznaje da posluje s čovjekom čiji je cilj potpuno razaranje Zapada. Njih će dvoje pod Gabrielovim vještim vodstvom postati neočekivani par junaka u globalnom ratu protiv terorizma i njegova glavnog planera, tajnovitog Saladina... Napeta priča brzo se prebacuje s glamura Saint-Tropeza do pijeska Casablance i egzotičnog Maroka te, napokon, do elektricitetom nabijenog vrhunca koji će čitatelje ostaviti bez daha dugo nakon što okrenu posljednju stranicu knjige.

I've read almost all the books in the Gabriel Allon series, so I'm clearly a fan of the author. This one however, I didn't love like the others. The pace was slower in Part 1, and I found I didn't get into it until Part 2. Even then, I wasn't rushing home to read more in the same way I have done with past books. The ending was drawn out, predictable, and easy enough to figure out by how many pages were left in the book what was going to happen. I'll keep reading the series, but hoping that they get back to how they used to be. Maybe Daniel Silva is too rushed in a way he wasn't when he was writing the earlier books?
