In the mystery genre', only a few can call themselves peers to Daniel Silva. I never go through the storyline in a review because that's available everywhere. In Fallen Angel, Silva is at his usual best, as I have yet to read one of the Gabriel Allon stories that wasn't superior to most everything else out there.

The Allon stories are part mystery, part covert agent, part travel guide and part history lesson. Like a superior teacher, Silva weaves in the geography of the story, along with some history, and some great tour guide information into a completely engrossing story that keeps you guessing - and reading. There's always too much detail to be a quick read, but it's the detail that makes the locations come alive for the reader, much like Wilbur Smith, though Smith often goes a little overboard on details!

If you're familiar with Silva, you'll have to read it, and if you're not, then you owe it to yourself to read The Kill Artist (the first Allon adventure) and then you'll be hooked. Read them in order for full effect.

As usual Silva does not disappoint, and justice is served.
