The New Girl
by Daniel Silva
NOW YOU SEE HERNOW YOU DON’TTHE NEW GIRLFrom #1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva comes a stunning 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.**Review“Fascinating.... An irresistible thriller, built on the realpolitik of today’s Middle East but deepened by the universality of human tragedy.” ( Booklist ) From the Back Cover
