It was not necessary to awaken Shamron that night, for he had long ago lost the gift of sleep.

It might bear some semblance to the truth.

This book has been on my to be read list for what seems like forever. There were so many themes in this book that intrigued me and it did not disappoint. It was fast paced, multiple POVs, touch of the art world, and lots of drama. I had a love/hate relationship for the ending. I loved parts of it but was felt it was abrupt and fell flat. However, overall I really enjoyed the book and I guess I have another series to add to my list.

Simon Harrison

Back to the start - not quite as expansive or provocative as the later books I've read, but still a very good spy thriller playing in between fiction and real history and people.

I expect I'm a little hooked now, 3 down, 18 to go

The chief of Israeli Intelligence recalls two former agents in order to eliminate a top Palestinian terrorist. One agent is now an art restorer, the other a fashion model. Ten years before, on a mission to destroy the Arab Black September group, they were briefly lovers. Now their pasts and their enemies come back to haunt them, as the terrorist murders ambassadors in Paris and Holland. Will the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks be his next target? And what motivates the terrorist? Is it politics, or is it possibly personal? Set mainly in London, but with forays into Paris, Amsterdam, the Middle East and north America, this thriller has all Daniel Silva's hallmarks of strong characters, unusual backgrounds and a page-turning narrative.

Mittelmäßiges Buch, aber dieser Vergleich ist der beste und dümmste, den ich jemals gelesen habe:
„It was hard and coarse, like the skin of a shark.“
Ah! Ja! Jetzt kann ich mir das besser vorstellen, danke Daniel Silva.
