"Silva's thrillers bring readers the best of all spy worlds....Silva juxtaposes scenes of great beauty...with shuddering scenes of violence. For readers who crave both deft characterization and old-fashioned, spy-novel action."

Publisher's note

A tale set after the best-selling Moscow Rules finds Gabriel Allon attempting to resume his honeymoon when he learns of the disappearance of a suspected double agent who recently saved his life, a situation for which British intelligence blames Allon, due to his enabling the man's alleged activities. 500,000 first printing.

The extraordinary new Gabriel Allon novel from the #1 "New York Times"abestselling author.
Over the course of a remarkable career, Daniel Silva has established himself as one of the worldas finest writers of international intrigue, a craftsman worthy of comparison to John le CarrA(c) and Graham Greene. His latest bestseller, "Moscow Rules," was not only superior entertainment but a prescient cautionary tale about the emergence of the New Russia. Now he takes that tale to the next level.
Six months after the blood-soaked conclusion of "Moscow Rules," Allon is in Umbria, trying to resume his honeymoon with his new wife, Chiara, when a colleague pays him a shocking visit. The man who saved Allonas life in Moscow and was then resettled in England has vanished without a trace. British intelligence is sure he was a double agent all along, and they blame Allon for planting him. To discover the truth and clear his own name, Allon must go immediately to Londonaa decision that will prove to be the most fateful of his career.
In the British capital, he finds himself once more on the front lines of the secret war between East and West, where Russian spies and dissidents engage in the old game of cat and mouse. There, Allon uncovers a much greater conspiracy, a plot by an old enemy to resurrect a network of death, to bring the world to the precipice of a new confrontation, and, in order to stop it, he must risk everything: his ties to an organization he has served since his youth, his new marriage . . . even his life. Filled with breathtaking turns of plot and populated by a remarkable cast of characters, "The Defector" is more than the most explosive thriller of the summer. It is asearing tale of love, vengeance, and courage created by the writer whom the critics call athe perfect guide to the dangerous forces shaping our worlda ("The Orlando Sentinel").

Annotation

In MOSCOW RULES, Daniel Silva's hero Gabriel Allon, a Renaissance art-expert and Israeli intelligence spy, hunted down the brutal Russian arms dealer Ivan Kharkov. Now Kharkov wants revenge. To bait Allon, Kharkov kidnaps former Russian intelligence officer Grigori Bulganov, to whom Allon is forever indebted. Allon jet sets from Italy (where he was honeymooning) to London to keep speed with Kharkov and prevent his devastating plot. In his ninth Allon thriller, Silva delivers another great book--full of all the action and spy adventures you could want plus a lot more.
