The New Girl – Daniel Silva

At an exclusive international school in Switzerland, a quiet girl with bodyguards and a guarded identity arrives each morning in a heavily protected motorcade. Rumors swirl about who she might be. In fact, she is the beloved daughter of the young and powerful crown prince of Saudi Arabia, a man the world has come to know by his initials. When she is kidnapped in a carefully planned operation, her father turns for help to the one man he believes can find her.

The New Girl, the nineteenth novel in Daniel Silva’s bestselling series featuring Gabriel Allon, the art restorer and legendary spy who now leads Israel’s intelligence service, follows Gabriel as he takes on this delicate and dangerous case. The prince, who has presented himself as a reformer, has also been linked to the brutal murder of a dissident journalist, and Gabriel must decide whether helping him serves the interests of his country and the cause of stability in the Middle East.

The search takes Gabriel and his team across Europe, from Switzerland to France, England and beyond, as they uncover a conspiracy involving powerful enemies of the prince, both inside and outside the kingdom. As the deadline set by the kidnappers approaches, Gabriel must use all his skills to save the girl, while confronting questions about power, loyalty, morality and the price of alliances.

Drawing on real-world events and political tensions, Silva combines suspense, espionage and international intrigue with richly drawn characters and settings.

The New Girl will appeal to fans of the Gabriel Allon series and of intelligent spy thrillers. It can be read on its own, though readers will appreciate the background from earlier books. It contains violence.
