A heart-stopping tale of suspense, Daniel Silva’s runaway bestseller, The Black Widow, was one of 2016’s biggest novels. Now, in House of Spies, Gabriel Allon is back and out for revenge – determined to hunt down the world’s most dangerous terrorist, a shadowy ISIS mastermind known only as Saladin. Four months after the deadliest attack on the American homeland since 9/11, terrorists leave a trail of carnage through London’s glittering West End. The attack is a brilliant feat of planning and secrecy, but with one loose thread. The thread leads Gabriel Allon and his team of operatives to the south of France and to the gilded doorstep of Jean-Luc Martel and Olivia Watson. A beautiful former British fashion model, Olivia pretends not to know that the true source of Martel’s enormous wealth is drugs. And Martel, likewise, turns a blind eye to the fact he is doing business with a man whose objective is the very destruction of the West. Together, under Gabriel’s skilled hand, they will become an unlikely pair of heroes in the global war on terrorism. Written in seductive and elegant prose, the story moves swiftly from the glamour of Saint-Tropez to the grit of Casablanca and, finally, to an electrifying climax that will leave readers breathless long after they turn the final page.

1999: è il primo anno di incerta pacificazione dell'Irlanda del Nord, una terra segnata da secolari conflitti religiosi e politici. Contrari a questo nuovo clima distensivo, alcuni estremisti protestanti, della Ulster Freedom Brigade, cercano, con tre brutali atti di terrorismo, di riportare indietro le lancette dell'orologio ai tempi delle spaventose stragi e dello scontro frontale tra le due comunità del paese.Michael Osbourne, ex agente della Cia, viene richiamato in servizio quando si scopre che i terroristi dell'Ufb hanno deciso, per un'ulteriore destabilizzazione, di uccidere proprio suo suocero, Douglas Cannon, ambasciatore americano a Londra. Per Osbourne comincia una partita giocata su più fronti, il cui risultato finale determinerà, oltre alla sorte di Cannon, anche il futuro dell'Irlanda del Nord.Quello che Michael Osbourne non sa è di essere soltanto una pedina. E, ancora una volta, come nel precedente romanzo di Daniel Silva, Osbourne si scontra con il suo eterno nemico, il redivivo Jean-Paul Delaroche, alias October, un killer spietato con il quale ha più di un conto da regolare.

In un villaggio isolato tra le montagne dell'Andalusia, una misteriosa donna francese sta scrivendo un pericoloso memoir. È la storia dell'uomo che ha amato molto tempo prima nella vecchia Beirut e di un bambino che le è stato strappato in nome del suo tradimento. Quella donna è la custode di un segreto che il Cremlino tiene gelosamente nascosto. Molto tempo prima, il KGB ha infiltrato una talpa nel cuore dell'Occidente, una talpa che ora è molto vicina ai gradini più alti del potere. Solo un uomo può svelare la cospirazione: Gabriel Allon, il leggendario restauratore d'arte e agente segreto israeliano. Gabriel ha già combattuto in passato le forze oscure della nuova Russia, pagandone di persona il prezzo. Ora lui e i russi si impegneranno in un'epica resa dei conti, che vedrà il destino dell'ordine mondiale del Dopoguerra pericolosamente in bilico. Gabriel è coinvolto nella caccia al traditore dopo che la sua più importante risorsa all'interno dell'intelligence russa viene brutalmente assassinata mentre tenta di disertare e rifugiarsi a Vienna. La ricerca della verità lo porterà indietro nel tempo, al più grande atto di tradimento del ventesimo secolo e, infine, a un climax lungo le sponde del fiume Potomac, fuori Washington.

Nell’angusta stanza senza finestre in cui è trattenuto, il mercante d’arte Julian Isherwood sa di essere nei guai. La sua innocenza sembra ridicola, considerando che è stato trovato accanto a un cadavere «letteralmente fatto a pezzi». È chiaro che qualcuno lo vuole incastrare, e sospetta del suo collega Oliver Dimbley, che lo ha avvicinato in un pub di Londra, offrendo di comprare la sua galleria d’arte e indirizzandolo verso la villa di Jack Bradshaw, dove ha trovato il corpo. Fortunatamente, il generale Cesare Ferrari, esperto in casi complessi, si rivolge a Gabriel Allon, ex agente del Mossad e amico di Isherwood. Allon arriva rapidamente al lago di Como e scopre che la vittima era coinvolta in un traffico di opere d’arte rubate, tra cui un prezioso Caravaggio scomparso nel 1969. La sua indagine lo porta da Parigi a Marsiglia, dalle coste della Corsica a banche in Austria, mentre cerca di scagionare l’amico. Con un mix di personaggi memorabili, colpi di scena e ambientazioni mozzafiato, l'autore dimostra ancora una volta la sua straordinaria abilità nel thriller.

Quando Michael Osbourne, agente della Cia, viene incaricato di indagare sull'abbattimento, mediante un missile, di un Boeing di linea sopra la costa di Long Island, si muove sulla traccia di un indizio importante: il cadavere di un uomo con tre pallottole in viso, ritrovato in mare vicino al punto in cui è precipitato l'aereo. Osbourne riconosce in quel marchio letale l'opera di un killer abilissimo e misterioso, che ha già ucciso più volte nello stesso modo ma che non è mai stato identificato perché solo le sue vittime, per un attimo, ne hanno intravisto il volto: tra queste anche Sarah, la giovane donna che l'agente ha molto amato alcuni anni prima e che gli è morta tra le braccia.Via via che Osbourne si avvicina alla verità, i suoi incubi personali minacciano di distruggere non solo l'indagine ma anche la sua carriera e il suo matrimonio. E nel momento in cui intuisce la mostruosa identità dei mandanti, lui e la moglie finiscono nel mirino di October, l'implacabile killer che scatena nei loro confronti una caccia spietata all'ultimo sangue.

Non è né sereno né tranquillo il riposo di Gabriel Allon, agente in incognito dei servizi israeliani. Dopo aver assistito all'orribile morte della moglie e del figlio ad opera del terrorismo arabo si è rifugiato in Cornovaglia, dove conduce per scelta una vita quasi monacale, restaurando antichi dipinti e lottando contro gli incubi di un passato che non gli concede tregua. Solo Shamron, il suo vecchio capo,può convincerlo a scendere in campo ancra una volta, l'ultima. Il suo compito sarà scovare ed eliminare Tariq al-Hourani, anima nera di una cellula integralista che crede soltanto nella violenza e nella vendetta, responsabile dell'uccisione della moglie e del figlio di Gabriel. Non è il classico gioco di morte tra preda e cacciatore: qui gli avversari sono due abilissimi e freddi predatori, e la logica utilitaristica e cinica delle silenziose guerre di spionaggio lascia il campo a un disumano odio razziale che non vuol intendere una logica diversa dal sangue. Prima l'Europa e poi il Nordamerica sono lo sterminato campo di battaglia dove i due avversari si fronteggiano tra agenti doppi, gallerie d'arte, ricchi ebrei.

Ein brutaler Mord, ein verschwundenes Meisterwerk und ein Geheimnis, das nur Gabriel Allon lösen kann Der Kunstrestaurator und legendäre Spion Gabriel Allon ist heimlich nach London gereist, um an einem Empfang in der Courtauld Gallery teilzunehmen, bei dem die Rückgabe eines gestohlenen Selbstporträts von Vincent van Gogh gefeiert wird. Doch als ein alter Freund der Polizei von Devon und Cornwall ihn um Hilfe bei einer rätselhaften Mordermittlung bittet, sieht er sich mit einem mächtigen und gefährlichen neuen Gegner konfrontiert. Bei dem Opfer handelt es sich um Charlotte Blake, eine gefeierte Professorin für Kunstgeschichte aus Oxford. Ihr Mord scheint das Werk eines teuflischen Serienmörders zu sein, der sein Unwesen treibt. Gabriel findet bald heraus, dass Professor Blake nach einem geraubten Picasso im Wert von mehr als 100 Millionen Dollar gesucht hat, und nimmt die Jagd nach dem Gemälde auf, wie nur er es kann – mit einer Reise quer durch Europa. Eine schillernde Geschichte über Mord, Macht und unersättliche Gier, die den Leser bis zur letzten Seite in ihren Bann zieht

Někdy je jediným způsobem, jak získat zpět ukradené mistrovské dílo, ukrást ho ještě jednou… Gabriel Allon, restaurátor umění a bývalý generální ředitel izraelských tajných služeb, se usadil v Benátkách se svou rodinou, ale jeho klid je narušen. Po objevení těla záhadné ženy v benátské laguně se ocitá v závodě o nalezení ztraceného mistrovského díla Leonarda da Vinciho, které bylo více než století ukryto ve Vatikánských muzeích pod bezcennou přemalbou. Když obraz záhadně zmizí, Gabriel se dostává do nebezpečného světa mafiánů a zločinců, kteří za krádeží stojí. Děj se rychle přesouvá z Benátek do Londýna, Říma a na francouzskou riviéru, až směřuje k šokujícímu vyvrcholení na Svatopetrském náměstí, kde je v ohrožení život papeže. Tento román je elegantní a stylovou cestou temnými uličkami světa umění a špinavými financemi Vatikánu, a opět dokazuje autorovu mistrovskou schopnost vytvářet mezinárodní intriky a napětí, což ho činí právem bestsellerovým autorem číslo 1.

Niekedy jediný spôsob, ako získať späť ukradnuté majstrovské dielo, je ukradnúť ho tiež... V novom vzrušujúcom príbehu o vražde, chamtivosti a korupcii musí špičkový reštaurátor a legendárny špión Gabriel Allon vyriešiť dokonalý zločin. Gabriel sa chystá reštaurovať jeden z najvýznamnejších obrazov v Benátkach. Keď však na hladine Benátskej lagúny objaví telo záhadnej ženy, ocitne sa v centre dramatického zápasu o získanie strateného majstrovského diela Leonarda da Vinciho. Tento obraz, portrét krásnej mladej dievčiny, vyše sto rokov zapadal prachom v depozitári Vatikánskych múzeí, omylom pripísaný inému autorovi a skrytý pod bezcenným obrazom neznámeho autora. A keďže nikto netuší, že v sklade sa nachádza Leonardovo dielo, nikto si ani nevšimne, keď raz v noci počas podozrivého výpadku elektrického prúdu zmizne. Teda nikto okrem neľútostných gangstrov a finančníkov stojacich za krádežou – a tiež okrem záhadnej ženy, ktorú Gabriel našiel v jej vodnom hrobe v Benátkach. Ženy bez mena. Ženy bez tváre. Pátranie po cennom obraze napreduje závratnou rýchlosťou a zavedie nás od londýnskych galérií a aukčných siení do enklávy na juhu Francúzska, kde sa sústredilo nepredstaviteľné bohatstvo, a napokon vyústi do šokujúceho záveru na Námestí svätého Petra v Ríme, kde hrozí smrteľné nebezpečenstvo samému pápežovi...
