The Secret Servant by Daniel Silva
4.0
Gabriel Allon an Israeli assassin is called back into action when the daughter of the U.S. ambassador to England is kidnapped. He travels to England, Denmark, the Netherlands and other places chasing what he thinks are the kidnappers. He was in Amsterdam investigating the death of an Israeli informant which led him to England and he witnessed the kidnapping and tried to stop it. He involves a man he met in Amsterdam and finds out it is his son who is involved with the kidnappers. The British government and the Americans are assisting.
The kidnappers actually have no intent to release the hostage even though they are making ransom demands. They are terrorists and have already set off several other coordinated attacks causing death and destruction. They want a sheik released from American captivity but know that wont happen. The mastermind is staying far away from the action but they are trying to track him also.
Gabriel's wedding plans have been put on hold while he works this case. His life is in danger as the terrorists want to kill him for interfering during the kidnapping. In the end things work out.
Really like this series. The author brings up lots of good topics such as all the people who live in England and other European countries that are becoming terrorists and how hidden they are. They have become part of the country and it is hard to find them. The plots are always very intricate and lots of research has gone into them.
