Seven days
One girl
No second chances
Madeline Hart is a rising star in British government: beautiful, ­ intelligent, driven to succeed by an impoverished childhood. But she also has a dark secret. She is the lover of Prime Minister ­ Jonathan Lancaster. When she vanishes on the island of Corsica, it' s clear her kidnappers know about the affair and intend to make the PM pay dearly for his sins. Fearful of a scandal that will destroy his career, Lancaster ­ decides to handle the matter privately, and not involve the police.
Enter Gabriel Allon – assassin, art restorer and spy – who must find Madeline within seven days before she is executed. With the clock ticking, Allon is thrust into a deadly game of shadows in which nothing is what it seems— and where the only thing more dangerous than his enemies is the truth.
Gabriel' s mission takes him from the criminal underworld of Marseilles, to the stately corridors of power in London— and, finally, to a pulse-pounding climax in Moscow, a city of secrets and violence where there is a long list of men who want Gabriel dead . . .
