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.

Great character great writer
Anyone who hasn’t read Silva’s BLACKWIDOW should at least go to a bookstore or library and read the author’s notes. Sivla gives a better picture of what’s going on currently in the middle east than any news media.
Very frightening when considering when this book was written and what the story line involved. Couldn’t put it down.
I love reading his books
Action packed spy thriller
Enjoy all Silva’s books and the character Gabriel Allon
One of my favorite authors
This was a great book and got me reading other of Silva’s books in this series. These books are intense and can be disturbing – not for the faint of heart. But well worth your while.
I love all of Daniel Silva’s books – this might be my favorite. The main character, Gabriel Allon is compelling. I enjoy learning about the different cultures of the middle east.
Great! Couldn’t put it down
Almost ripped from the headlines.
He’s a great author, who weaves a suspenseful story that is realistic and contemporary.
Another blockbuster book. Always a great read.
Daniel Silva is an excellent writer and he delivers again. His protagonist, Gabriel Allon is the super spy from the Israeli “Office.” The taut, well crafted plot and story line are augmented with commentaries on the politics and history of the Middle East along with a romantic theme with Kiara, from Venice. Silva has the ability to immerse the reader in the overlapping worlds of Israel, Europe, terroris, espionage, ambitions and the art world. I look forward to each new book in this series. Silva manages to infuse warmth and even love in his tales of assassins, art thieves, terrorists, and spies and he makes us care for his characters.
One of his better novels
Great read! As always Silvia nailed it
Silva’s books, always fantastic. Now I’ll read the ones with Osborne as his character
Good read
Every book from this author is a must read. I enjoy the stories and find
them great reading. Cannot get enough.
The best thing I can say about it is that it is very true to the kind of author he is. I have been a fan of his for years!
