The extraordinary new Gabriel Allon novelfrom the 'gold standard' (The Dallas Morning News)of thriller writers.
Over the course of ten previous novels, Daniel Silva hasestablished himself as one of the world's finestwriters of international intrigue and espionage 'a worthy successor to such legends as Frederick Forsyth andJohn le Carré' (Chicago Sun-Times) and Gabriel Allon as 'oneof the most intriguing heroes of any thriller series' (The PhiladelphiaInquirer).
Now the death of a journalist leads Allon to Russia, wherehe finds that, in terms of spycraft, even he has something tolearn. He's playing by Moscow rules now.
This is not the grim, gray Moscow of Soviet times but a newMoscow, awash in oil wealth and choked with bulletproofBentleys. A Moscow where power resides once more behind thewalls of the Kremlin and where critics of the ruling class areruthlessly silenced. A Moscow where a new generation ofStalinists is plotting to reclaim an empire lost and to challengethe global dominance of its old enemy, the United States.
One such man is Ivan Kharkov, a former KGB colonel whobuilt a global investment empire on the rubble of the SovietUnion. Hidden within that empire, however, is a more lucrativeand deadly business: Kharkov is an arms dealer and he isabout to deliver Russia's most sophisticated weapons to al-Qaeda. Unless Allon can learn the time and place of the delivery,the world will see the deadliest terror attacks since9/11 and the clock is ticking fast.
Filled with rich prose and breathtaking turns of plot,Moscow Rules is at once superior entertainment and a searingcautionary tale about the new threats rising to the East andSilva's finest novel yet.
