Number One Wall Street Journal Best Seller •

From number one New York Times best-selling 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, pause-resisting 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.

The most political book yet from Daniel Silva

I have read and enjoyed every book in Gabriel allot series and I know all the usual characters. This novel does follow along lines of current affairs and I see not so Sutlej jabs at president trump. I voted for him will vote for again in 2020. I also picked up on very subtle left. Leanings I read mr Silva’s bio and know he has worked for CNN back when it was a true news station not a destroy trump failing cable network which by the way is rated below HGTV and reruns on cartoon channel I read your excellent books for entertainment and excitement and love of the characters. Please stay neutral and only state the facts cause you have a lot of fans like me who want to be entertained so to quote Laura. Ingraham SHUT UP AND WRITE. your books are the best anyone who agrees or disagrees: [e-mail]

Fantastic Listen Best Allon Book Yet!

I've never written a book review before but this Allon book was the best one in the series. The past few books had not been my favorites and I was considering not getting this book but I am so glad I did. This book was timely and intense. I could not stop listening to the book and finished it in less than a week! The emotions this book brought out were surprising, shock, fear, sadness, excitement, and even tears. I'm excited to see what is next for these characters.

desilva delivers again

particularly appreciated his preface and it is authors note.

wonderful work of well researched fiction

Having never read Daniel Silva-really enjoyed it

It was not until I got to the end that I realized that this book was a series of sorts (although you do not have to have read the priors to enjoy it). The narration was incredible. The accents taken on were quite convincing, and helped me to keep the characters straight. I will now go snag some additional books by this author.

Last was the best

I can’t believe I listened to the last book ! I already miss Gabriel and all the rest of the characters ! I wish the books were longer !!!! I hope there is a next one without giving any spoilers after the climactic ending there HAS to be another book !

Always a fun listen

loved it. only two 5 days to complete. not sure if how the author makes the story so relistic

couldn't it it down

Having read almost every book that Danie Silva has written I was not disappointed in this one. There were as usual many twists and turns. There was one point where I cried about what had happened. I happen to love Gabriel Allond charter. I listened to the entire book in one day I couldn't put it down

Great story!!!

I really like the story. I couldn't stop listening it. I definitely recommend this book.
