The personal sphere of every spy, powerful leader or even policeman is always his Achilles tendon. Because having a private life being someone with enough power or knowledge to be hated can have an unaffordable price.
Daniel Silva on this occasion he tackles that most personal space to convert his plot into a pure thriller.
In an exclusive Swiss private school, the mystery surrounds the identity of a girl with black hair who arrives every morning accompanied by an escort worthy of a head of state. They say that she is the daughter of a very rich businessman.
In reality, his father is the all-powerful Khalid bin Mohamed, the now-reviled Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and once hailed by the international community for his promise to undertake religious and social reforms.
Khalid is now the target of harsh criticism from all governments for his involvement in the murder of a dissident journalist. And when his only daughter is kidnapped, he turns to the only man who can find her before it's too late.
Gabriel Allon, the legendary head of the Israeli intelligence service, has spent much of his life hunting down terrorists. Among them, numerous jihadists financed by Saudi Arabia. Prince Khalid has vowed to finally break the close link between his kingdom and radical Islam.
For that reason alone, Gabriel considers him a valuable collaborator, despite the fact that he does not trust him. Together they will forge a precarious alliance in a secret war for control of the Middle East. The life of a girl and the throne of Saudi Arabia are at stake. Both Allon and Khalid have made numerous enemies for themselves.
And they have a lot to lose.
