A Kirkus Best Book of the Year#1 NYT Bestseller#1 USA Bestseller#1 WSJ BestsellerFrom the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Black Widow comes the thrilling new summer blockbuster featuring legendary spy, assassin and art restorer Gabriel Allon.A heart-stopping tale of suspense, Daniel Silva’s runaway bestseller, The Black Widow, was one of 2016’s biggest novels. Now, in House of Spies, … restorer Gabriel Allon.
A heart-stopping tale of suspense, Daniel Silva’s runaway bestseller, The Black Widow, was one of 2016’s biggest novels. Now, in House of Spies, Gabriel Allon is back and out for revenge – determined to hunt down the world’s most dangerous terrorist, a shadowy ISIS mastermind known only as Saladin.
Four months after the deadliest attack on the American homeland since 9/11, terrorists leave a trail of carnage through London’s glittering West End. The attack is a brilliant feat of planning and secrecy, but with one loose thread.
The thread leads Gabriel Allon and his team of operatives to the south of France and to the gilded doorstep of Jean-Luc Martel and Olivia Watson. A beautiful former British fashion model, Olivia pretends not to know that the true source of Martel’s enormous wealth is drugs. And Martel, likewise, turns a blind eye to the fact he is doing business with a man whose objective is the very destruction of the West. Together, under Gabriel’s skilled hand, they will become an unlikely pair of heroes in the global war on terror.
Written in seductive and elegant prose, the story moves swiftly from the glamour of Saint-Tropez to the grit of Casablanca and, finally, to an electrifying climax that will leave readers breathless long after they turn the final page.
But House of Spies is more than just riveting entertainment; it is a dazzling tale of avarice and redemption, set against the backdrop of the great conflict of our times. And it proves once again why Daniel Silva is “quite simply the best” (Kansas City Star).

Silva is one of my favorite authors. Have read every one of his books. The characters become acquaintances of ypurs,as you read the series.
Daniel Silva is one of my favorite authors. I always refer new readers to try him out. I have all of the books and recommend reading them in order (not totally necessary, but makes for better reading) and I will lend the books to them. All who have taken up my offer, always offer great reviews.
Read the whole series
Love this series, and this was a very good read!
Have read every book in the Gabriel Allon series at least twice, and there are now 17 of them. They’re fabulous and thrilling, and immensely informative and addictive. You don’t NEED to start with the first novel, The Kill Artist, however, you should, because by the third book, they have become family, and you need to keep them in your life. I recommend this series to anyone and everyone who not only likes action packed thrillers, but who wants a better comprehension of our volatile world politics and the struggles of Israel’s past and future, but as an added bonus, you will learn much about great art and restoration.
Cannot recommend this series enough!
Fun, per routine for Silva
Daniel Silva is a writer of action packed books with plot twists and turns

Always good
Not his usual best.
Love Silva’s books.
Daniel Silva is a master story teller who weaves a tale filled with strong characters and plenty of twists to keep you on the edge of your seat.
Daniel Siva is one of the best modern day writers and I look forward to his next book. Always a clever story that weaves his characters with suspense. He always teaches the reader about our modern day world and the histroy behind it.
A terrific addition to the Gabriel Allon series by Silva!!
I’ve read all 20 of Silva’s books and this one is just as good as the rest, if not better. Great characters who are developed carefully and realistically. There’s some humor in the dialogue and more surprises than usual. Silva’s a master at this. He, Vince Flynn and Brad Thor are my three favorites.
Typical Silva. A new twist of every page. Loved it.
This is Daniel Silva’s latest book, and worry not Silva fans. He has done it again Silva is one of those writers who book after book creates new story lines and mysteries for his hero, Gabriel Allon, and his team to solve. This time they are trailing a group of terrorists using drug money to fund their killing attacks on the largest cities in Europe. The twisted route which Allon and his people have to follow to find the mastermind of this plan is amazing and shows why it is so hard to find these people. Fear not though, fans, the last pages of this book gives a hint on where the next group for this group to face lives. Enjoy!
Daniel Silva…great as always!
Great Silva story telling. I wait all year for his book.
It’s very real feeling. The people in Silva’s stories live in a world of I believe is copied from lives that real spies might inhabit. The drama truly mirrors what’s going on in our world.
While I enjoyed reading “House of Spies:, I found it too real and it made me really think about the coming days.
Yes, I’m waiting for the next book!
