Synopsis

El autor número 1 del New York Times regresa con esta obra maestra del espionaje, el amor y la traición.En un pequeño y aislado pueblo de la serranía de Cádiz, vive una misteriosa mujer de nacionalidad francesa que ha empezado a escribir unas memorias más que peligrosas. Es la historia de un hombre al que una vez amó en Beirut, años atrás, y de un hijo que le arrebataron en nombre de la traición. Esta mujer es la guardiana del secreto mejor guardado por el Kremlin: hace décadas la KGB infiltró a un agente doble en el mismo corazón de occidente, un topo que hoy se encuentra a las puertas del poder absoluto.Solo una persona puede arrojar luz sobre esta conspiración: Gabriel Allon, el ya legendario restaurador de arte y asesino que hoy sirve como director del eficacísimo servicio secreto israelí. Gabriel ya ha tenido que combatir, anteriormente, a las oscuras fuerzas de la nueva Rusia, con un elevado coste personal. Ahora él y los rusos se enzarzarán en una épica confrontación final con el destino del mundo que conocemos en la balanza.Gabriel se ve empujado en medio de la conspiración cuando su activo más importante dentro de la Inteligencia rusa es asesinado mientras intentaba desertar en Viena. Su búsqueda de la verdad le llevará atrás en el tiempo, hasta la traición más grande del siglo XX para terminar en las riveras del Potomac fuera de Washington.Rápido como una bala, extrañamente bella y llena de dobles sentidos y giros en la trama, esta novela es un verdadero tour de force que demuestra una vez más que Daniel Silva es simplemente el mejor escritor de novelas de espías de nuestro tiempo.

About Daniel Silva

Michigan born author, Daniel Silva has had a most interesting career before he made the decision to follow his dream of becoming a novelist. He left his pursuit of a master's degree in International Relations when he was offered a temporary position with United Press International in 1984 to help cover the Democratic National Convention in San Francisco. He joined UPI later that year as a full time correspondent. His job eventually took him to the Middle East, where he met his future wife, Jamie Gangel who was working as an NBC Today Show Iraq - Iran War Correspondent. They were married in late 1987. Silva returned to Washington, DC, where he accepted a position with CNN.

In 1995, Silva began his writing career in earnest with the instant best seller, The Unlikely Spy. All of his books have been on the New York Times best seller list, and have been published worldwide. His most successful series was about Israeli art restorer, spy, and assassin Gabriel Allon.

Currently, Silva lives with his wife, Jamie, and their children Nicholas and Lily. It is said that Silva frequently takes his children on research trips for his books.

Goodreads review by Malia on August 09, 2018

I had been looking forward to this book as a fun, fast-paced summer thriller, but I am sorry to say, I was left disappointed. The story felt disjointed, Gabriel boring and the pace quite slow until the last few hours. The writing is good, but the story just wasn't compelling for me this time, though......more

Goodreads review by David on April 30, 2020

I love Daniel Silva books and like John Sanford I can not in clear conscience rate them with your average Joe. So I compare them with their prior works. The last Silva, The Widow, was a fantastic read. This one (The Other Woman) however, was a good story but lacked the dynamic that made The Widow gr......more

How did I love thee? When I counted the ways, I ended up with way more than 5 reasons. But since 5 stars is as high as most ratings go, that number will have to suffice - but it certainly isn't enough to do this book justice. In the interests of full disclosure, Israeli intelligence chief Gabriel All......more

Goodreads review by Skip on August 13, 2018

Another disappointing novel by Daniel Silva. Is Gabriel Allon now too old and family-driven to be the vivacious spy, strategist and art restorer of the past (or is it Silva himself who has aged dramatically?) This one is repetitious, unoriginal and downright dull, especially the first half. Basicall......more
