Wily old Israeli intelligence chief recalls former agents in order to eliminate top Palestinian terrorist. One agent is now an art restorer, the other a fashion model. Ten years before on a mission 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, it has all Daniel Silva's hallmarks of strong characters, unusual backgrounds and a page-turning narrative.

Excellent!
This book hooked me from the moment I turned the first page. Daniel Silva created an imaginary doorway into a world that is real yet so unfamiliar to our everyday life. This is the kind of book that leaves the dishes unwashed; husband unatteded; and phonecalls forwarded to your voicemail!

Great book. Keeps one interested and waiting to get back to it. Author is not overly verbose.
