Now you see her.
Now you don't.
THE NEW GIRL.
A new thriller of deception, betrayal, and vengeance.
She was covered from head to toe in expensive wool and plaid, the sort of stuff one saw at the Burberry boutique in Harrods. She carried a leather bookbag rather than a nylon backpack. Her patent leather ballet slippers were glossy and bright. She was proper, the new girl, modest.
But there was something else about her....
At an exclusive private school in Switzerland, mystery surrounds the identity of the beautiful raven-haired girl who arrives each morning in a motorcade fit for a head of state. She is said to be the daughter of a wealthy international businessman. In truth, her father is Khalid bin Mohammed, the much-maligned crown prince of Saudi Arabia. Once celebrated for his daring social and religious reforms, he is now reviled for his role in the murder of a dissident journalist. And when his only child is brutally kidnapped, he turns to the one man he can trust to find her before it is too late.
What's done cannot be undone....
Gabriel Allon, the legendary chief of Israeli intelligence, has spent most of his life fighting terrorists, including the murderous jihadists financed by Saudi Arabia. Prince Khalid - or KBM, as he is known - has pledged to finally break the bond between the Kingdom and radical Islam. For that reason alone, Gabriel regards him as a valuable, if flawed, partner. Together, they will become unlikely allies in a deadly secret war for control of the Middle East. The life of a child, and the throne of Saudi Arabia, hang in the balance. Both men have made their share of enemies. And both have everything to lose.
Filled with dark humor, breathtaking twists of plot, and an unforgettable cast of characters, The New Girl is both a thrilling, pause-resisting tale of entertainment and a sophisticated study of political alliances and great-power rivalries in a dangerous world. And it is once again proof that Gabriel Allon is "one of fiction's greatest spies" (Kirkus) and Daniel Silva is "quite simply the best" (Kansas City Star) writer of foreign intrigue and suspense at work today.
You are my reason why!!! I read it in one seating. Mr. Silva you outdid yourself. I cannot thank you enough for reminding me why I love reading. You humanize your fictional characters in a way that only a very few writers are able to do. Your stories, settings, and editing are exceptionally delivered.Thank you! Until next year.Daniel Silva and Gabriel Allon It is mid- July and I have finished “The New Girl” by Daniel Silva. The book was a bit longer, so thankfully I didn’t read it one sitting. But still it will be a year before Gabriel Allon appears again. I know Mr. Silva isn’t already writing, he’s touring but I would seriously like him to get to work. I don’t know how I got lost in the character of Gabriel Allon but it was many years ago. He is serious, dangerous, lovable, with a very dry humor that can make you laugh out loud. I don’t know how to a review a book. I’m 66 years old and no longer remember spelling and the rules of grammar or punctuation. So anyway: Over time the character development has been wonderful. The novels are always are jaw clenchingly fast paced. At no time do you suspend disbelief. Everyting, no matter how outlandish, is believable. You want to meet these people and have take you everywhere they have been. You want to hug Gabriel and fall in love.This author ruins me for weeks. I can’t pick up another book. No one writes this incredibly well. Books by authors I love become trash. Daniel please go home and started.Boring and Lacking Suspense I've read all of the Gabriel Allon books. The earlier novels in the series are fantastic. The last several have been lackluster and The New Girl is no exception. Unfortunately, I was duped into believing this was a great book based on a 10/10 review from a reputable reviewer. It is devoid of any real suspense and the only surprise happens on the last page of the book. A character from earlier in the series, Sara Bancroft, is shoehorned into the story for no valid reason, and then only to whine about her lack of a love life. The main problem with the story, and possibly the series, is that Gabriel Allon is no longer as interesting since he became head of The Office and a married father of two. It's also impossible to suspend disbelief that the head of Israel's intelligence agency, who at age 65+ is out in the field putting himself in danger on a regular basis. The other problem is Daniel Silva's reliance on current events to drive the plot, as well as his blatant political leanings. The events he derives his plot from occurred at least a year prior to the book being published and are old news, and his political beliefs detract from the story. I read spy fiction to be entertained, not to be reminded of depressing real life events. Perhaps next time Silva can come up with an original story, instead of regurgitated world events. Maybe it's even time to think about creating a new series with a new protagonist.
