House of Spies brings back the legendary spy, assassin, and art restorer Gabriel Allon in a heart-stopping tale of suspense. Following the events of The Black Widow, one of 2016’s biggest novels, Gabriel is out for revenge, determined to hunt down the world’s most dangerous terrorist, a shadowy ISIS mastermind known only as Saladin.

Four months after the deadliest attack on the American homeland since 9/11, terrorists orchestrate a trail of carnage through London’s glittering West End. The attack, a brilliant feat of planning and secrecy, leaves behind one loose thread. This thread leads Gabriel and his team of operatives to the south of France and to the gilded doorstep of Jean-Luc Martel and Olivia Watson. Olivia, a beautiful former British fashion model, pretends not to know that the true source of Martel’s enormous wealth is drugs. Martel, in turn, turns a blind eye to the fact he is doing business with a man whose objective is the very destruction of the West. Together, under Gabriel’s skilled hand, they will become an unlikely pair of heroes in the global war on terror.

Written in seductive and elegant prose, the story moves swiftly from the glamour of Saint-Tropez to the grit of Casablanca and, finally, to an electrifying climax that will leave readers breathless long after they turn the final page. House of Spies is not just riveting entertainment; it is a dazzling tale of avarice and redemption, set against the backdrop of the great conflict of our times, proving once again why Daniel Silva is considered “quite simply the best”.
