#1 New York Times Bestseller • #1 USA Today Bestseller • #1 Wall Street Journal Bestseller

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva, this summer’s hottest thriller.

Now you see her. Now you don’t. THE NEW GIRL. A new thriller of deception, betrayal, and vengeance.

She was covered from head to toe in expensive wool and plaid, the sort of stuff one saw at the Burberry boutique in Harrods. She carried a leather bookbag rather than a nylon backpack. Her patent leather ballet slippers were glossy and bright. She was proper, the new girl, modest. But there was something else about her …

At an exclusive private school in Switzerland, mystery surrounds the identity of the beautiful raven-haired girl who arrives each morning in a motorcade fit for a head of state. She is said to be the daughter of a wealthy international businessman. In truth, her father is Khalid bin Mohammed, the much-maligned crown prince of Saudi Arabia. Once celebrated for his daring social and religious reforms, he is now reviled for his role in the murder of a dissident journalist. And when his only child is brutally kidnapped, he turns to the one man he can trust to find her before it is too late.

What’s done cannot be undone …

Gabriel Allon, the legendary chief of Israeli intelligence, has spent most of his life fighting terrorists, including the murderous jihadists financed by Saudi Arabia. Prince Khalid—or KBM, as he is known—has pledged to finally break the bond between the Kingdom and radical Islam. For that reason alone, Gabriel regards him as a valuable if flawed partner. Together they will become unlikely allies in a deadly secret war for control of the Middle East. The life of a child, and the throne of Saudi Arabia, hang in the balance. Both men have made their share of enemies. And both have everything to lose.

Filled with dark humor, breathtaking twists of plot, and an unforgettable cast of characters, The New Girl is both a thrilling, page-turning tale of entertainment and a sophisticated study of political alliances and great-power rivalries in a dangerous world. And it is once again proof that Gabriel Allon is “one of fiction’s greatest spies” (Kirkus) and Daniel Silva is “quite simply the best” (Kansas City Star) writer of foreign intrigue and suspense at work today.

Great book, terrible reader

This is a suspenseful up-to-date book full of intrigue and clever twists utilizing my drone characters. Unfortunately the reader is very poor and sometimes difficult to understand

The New Girl:A Novel

Entertaining story.... truly enjoin the forward and the “recent history” review at the end.
Do not be deceived by the title!

Exceeded all my expectations.. loved it.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to my favorite author. The narration tapped into my visual imagery and keep me involved as I always feel as I read David Silva's written words

Love this book!

Great story, plot twists and thrills! Narrator is wonderfully listenable. Often, the narration can make or break a book for me. Highly recommended.

Worthwhile read

Great story. Superb narrator. Disappointing ending but well worth the listen. Learned a bit about Middle East.

Intracate story with compelling characters

Enjoyed the discripive writing and unfolding of characters and espionage. I'm going to hear another of Silva 's spy stories now.

Not up to the mark of the previous novels; seems a bit rushed

Many of the preceding books were in fact predictive and interesting because they had offered a conclusion that eventually came to pass, probably based on the authors insights and ingenuity. This one is rather stretched. In that I mean that the plot is deeply contrived. The action is as always quite interesting but it becomes a little too dramatic and unbelievable for the reality of the plot. Sorry, that's not very clear about the point is it's becoming wishful thinking rather than reality reconstruction. The whole series is a wonderful set of books and certainly not to be issued or mistaken. They are not great literature but they are sure and true great excursions.

Edge of your seat

Loved the story, I could visualize it as a movie.
The narrator did an excellent job with the characters.

Another good story

Excellent story as usual for Gabriel Allon. Wouldn’t it be nice if real life could even approach some of this?!

Great Read

Great read for fans of espionage and intrigue. Daniel Silva has been one of my favorite authors for years.
