In the secluded coastal town in Cornwall, they only refer to him as the Stranger: Gabriel Allon lives in seclusion, wanting to remain invisible since the death of his wife and son. But now, the head of the Israeli intelligence service has tracked him down, uncovered his disguise, and set him on the trail of his greatest enemy: Tariq al-Harouni, the murderer of his family. Following a successful assassination of the Israeli ambassador in Paris, al-Harouni is apparently planning the elimination of Yasser Arafat, whom he believes has betrayed the cause of the Palestinian people. However, Tariq al-Harouni also seeks revenge against the killer of his brother - the former secret agent Gabriel Allon.

In this breathless chase between two arch-enemies, Daniel Silva takes us around the globe, skillfully weaving political intrigue with the personal fate of his hero.
