This is one of the best entries in Daniel Silva's Gabriel Allon series. The first third or half of the book was fast-paced an enthralling, then came a section where the complications of who was trying to achieve what became a little too twisted for me. The final section worked well in ways that I would not have predicted.

As usual, Silva gives you a little lecture at the end about which elements in the book are true to life and why they matter.

I found his portrayal of the relationship between Israel and Saudi Arabia rather surprising but at the same time at least halfway believable.
