The New Girl
Daniel Silva's nineteenth Gabriel Allon novel pulls the Israeli spymaster into the murky world of Saudi royal politics. When the daughter of the crown prince vanishes from a Swiss boarding school, Allon is quietly tapped to find her. The trail winds through Paris, London, and the gilded halls of the kingdom itself, exposing a power struggle that could reshape the region. Silva mixes torn-from-the-headlines reportage with the elegant tradecraft his readers expect, weaving in references to the Khashoggi affair without naming it directly. The pacing is patient, the prose polished, and the geopolitical stakes feel genuinely consequential. Longtime fans get cameos from Christopher Keller and Sarah Bancroft, while newcomers can follow the plot without prior installments. A confident addition to one of the most reliable franchises in modern espionage fiction.
