Helpful Score: 4

This book's protagonist, Gabriel Allon, an agent of the Israeli counterintelligence group, becomes involved in the abduction of the daughter of the US Ambassador to the Court of St. James by Moslem extremists.

The plot moves quickly, as has been the case in some of Silva's earlier books, many characters come back from earlier books.

In the telling of the story, Silva introduces some interesting "back stories" to the growth of extremist groups, particularly in Egypt, all of which is well researched, and not fictional.

All together -- A very good read!
