Awaiting the birth of a child and poised to take the reins of Israel’s intelligence service, Allon is called in for one more job—and this time, it’s personal.

The English Spy
Iranians and Russians really bad; American liberals naive; IRA terrorists sorta charming, but bad; British a bit clumsy but good; Israelis extremely brave, extremely smart and very good. No wonder this is Glen Beck's favorite fiction.
Unlike the rest of the series
This book seemed to have been ghost written by someone who didn't understand how important Gabriel's artistic pursuits are to the fullness of his character, Virtually no time was spent in the opening chapters establishing his passion for restoring masterpieces. The book rushed headfirst into action that was no different than dozens of other thrillers. And not enough time was spent at the beginning enjoying the relationship between Gabriel and his wife.
There are many thrillers on the market every month but none with the mosaic of artist/husband/assassin that is Gabriel Allon. I hope the financial reward of being a best-selling author does not result in this series becoming a formula thriller. If so, you will have lost me.
