About:
The Messenger by Daniel Silva follows Gabriel Allon, an art restorer and spy, as he faces a challenge to prevent an assassination attempt on the Vatican orchestrated by a Saudi financier supporting international terrorism. With the help of an American woman, Sarah, Gabriel infiltrates the terrorist network to uncover the plot against the Pope and ultimately the President. The book weaves an intense plot around a lost Van Gogh painting, using it as bait to capture the master Saudi terrorist, while showcasing complex characters and a plausible storyline that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.
From The Publisher:
On the trail of a deadly al-Qaeda operative, Gabriel Allon returns in a spellbinding story of deception, power, and revenge by the #1 New York Times bestselling "world-class practitioner of spy fiction" ( Washington Post ).
Gabriel Allon-art restorer and spy-is about to face the greatest challenge of his life. An al-Qaeda suspect is killed in London, and photographs are found on his computer-photographs that lead Israeli intelligence to suspect that al-Qaeda is planning one of its most audacious attacks ever, aimed straight at the heart of the Vatican.
Allon and his colleagues soon find themselves in a deadly duel of wits against one of the most dangerous men in the world-a hunt that will take them across Europe to the Caribbean and back. But for them, there may not be enough of anything: enough time, enough facts, enough luck.
All Allon can do is set his trap-and hope that he is not the one caught in it.
