The Black Widow
by Daniel Silva
Spy Fiction. In this 16th entry in the Gabriel Allon series, the art restorer and spy is working his biggest case ever: infiltrating a deadly Islamic terrorist group in order to kill its leader and prevent the biggest attack the world has yet seen. There are two black widows -- one is an escaped terrorist, but the second is the real draw. She's a civilian, a Jerusalem doctor whom Gabriel and his team have trained as a spy to help locate their target. Plenty of tension, an in-depth look at politics and war in the Middle East, and well-wrought characters are among the appeals of this sobering novel.
