Bestselling author Daniel Silva delivers another spellbinding international thriller—one that finds the legendary Gabriel Allon grappling with an ISIS mastermind.
Gabriel Allon, the art restorer, spy, and assassin described as the most compelling fictional creation “since Ian Fleming put down his martini and invented James Bond” (Rocky Mountain News), is poised to become the chief of Israel’s secret intelligence service. But on the eve of his promotion, events conspire to lure him into the field for one final operation. ISIS has detonated a massive bomb in the Marais district of Paris, and a desperate French government wants Gabriel to eliminate the man responsible before he can strike again.
Acclaimed novelist Daniel Silva has thrilled, entertained and educated readers with eighteen thoughtful and gripping spy novels featuring a diverse cast of compelling characters and ingenious plots that have taken them around the globe and back—from the United States to Europe, Russia to the Middle East. From its shocking opening to its explosive denouement in Washington, D.C., The Black Widow reveals itself as Silva’s most timely and powerful novel yet. Following the success of his smash hit The English Spy, this electrifying thriller showcases Silva’s consummate skill and brilliant imagination, and is sure to be a must read for his multitude of current and future fans.

My all time favorite author
Daniel Silva is a genius at creating a fictional cast of characters and events that closely resemble what could be going on our real world. And probably is. Frightening. Terrorism, revenge, corruption, clandestine operations, evil unleashed. Plus heroism, family, love, duty, sacrifice. I read everything he writes as soon as it is published.
I love all of Daniel Silva’s books!
I am always impatient for the next book by Daniel Silva. He is frighteningly close to actual events — it almost feel predictive. His work is well researched, extremely well crafted and his characters are amazingly complex in their humaness. I hate to actually get to the end of a book.
When I read this book I had no idea that women could be so calculatingly greedy or that kind of world could have existed. I found it expanded my view on the real world.
Great series!!!
The Black Widow was my first foray into Daniel’s Silva’s writing and it wasn’t my last. I quite enjoyed the page turning moments. I love settling in for each adventure, knowing that each book will be entertaining.
Fantastic book by a super good writer. Silva is the best!!
One of my favorites from Daniel Silva.
It describes the places where Gabriel Allon goes and he’s fascinating.You can picture yourself as another character. You wiil love him!
The is one of the latest books in the Gabriel Akon series of modern day spy novels by Daniel Silva. Silva is a master of the spy genre, and his main character is interesting to follow through his adventures in espionage.
Silva seems to have a bit of a gift for portraying everyone as both good and evil – in an empathetic way. The terrorists and the agent of the allied and NATO block are believable as humans.
The entire series is noteworthy for avid readers, and this installment is very much aligned to current events.
Have been fan of Daniel Silva since his first book. This one is a long line of exceptionally well written and planned exercises in drama. He is a master of the genre. I eagerly await his next novel.
Love all Gabriel Allon books.
Read in order to fully enjoy.
This book really gives you an insight into how ISIS operates and the history of the deep resentment between the Palestinians and Isreal. The conflict in the Mideast goes far back in history and this is a compelling story that’s gives you a sense of how deep the conflict is and how far reaching it goes.
read all his books the best writer i’ve ever read can’t wait for more
I love all of Daniel Silva’s books and can’t get enough of them. They’re all edge-of-seat reading, but with familiar characters the reader bonds with.
