Superb. When locations that stretch from Tel Aviv to Paris, London, Montreal, and Washington DC, the plot has "the Office" tracking a terrorist who wishes to disrupt the peace process. There's even a twist after the conclusion. I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.

Very solid espionage/spy novel, excited to read more from Silva.

Well, I liked the part about his being an art restorer. Otherwise, I found this rather draggy. I don't know if I'd go on to read the next.

I’m interested in reading another in the series, but man it was kind of tough to follow with all the name changes lol. Plus so many different locations. Was a bit challenging for me to keep it all straight. Okay read, just didn’t feel totally invested.

I liked it! Reads almost like it was written in the mid-60's, but it's definitely a few steps up from the typical spy thriller.
