Daniel Silva extends his run of top-notch thrillers with the latest book in the Gabriel Allon series. Allon is an Israeli covert agent and assassin who moonlights as an art restorer. This dichotomy between killer and artist makes Allon a deep, rich and utterly conflicted character, a man who desperately wants to be left alone, but can never turn his back on the country he loves. In Moscow Rules, Allon heads to Russia in an attempt to track down the details of a pending arms sales that threatens the safety of Israel and the Western world. A former journalist, Silva never pulls his punches, whether the topic is Saudi support of terrorism or the dismal state of affairs in moden Russia. His books are tense, exciting affairs, given added significance by their treatment of real events. Silva is hands-down one of the best thriller writers working today.
