Description

Art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon searches for the missing wife of a British billionaire in the electrifying new tale of greed, corruption, and betrayal from #1 New York Times–bestselling novelist Daniel Silva.

Alice Winter, one of Britain’s most dazzling socialites, seemingly has the perfect life—a lavish home in posh Knightsbridge, a grand estate in Devon, millions of followers on social media who eagerly await her next post. But when she disappears without a trace while on holiday with three old friends from Cambridge, her desperate husband, the real estate baron Edward Knight, turns to none other than Gabriel Allon to find her.

He soon discovers that Alice Winter is not the woman she appears to be, that she has a reckless side, that she has secrets. But Edward Knight has a secret too, a secret so dangerous that Gabriel will have no choice but to return to the life he thought he had left behind. An old enemy lurks there, waiting for him to make one misstep, waiting for the perfect moment to exact vengeance.

From its irresistible opening chapters to its heart-pounding climax and shocking final twist, Ransom is a riveting, page-turning tour de force that proves yet again why Daniel Silva is the reigning master of international intrigue and suspense.

     I read all of the Gabrielle Allon books. This is not a full review because I’m only halfway through. So to keep it simple I would not highly recommend this last book in the series.
  • Great read

    Ransom is a very enjoyable, fast paced novel that takes place in the world of today with all of the its current international intrigue. As always, Daniel Silva’s books introduce my wife and I to new places to visit and explore.

    A really good book of fiction, but terrifying descriptions of drones and spying technology. Good versus evil in a world of huge wealth inequality: “the haves, the have nots, and the have yachts.” A $500 million ransom (negotiated down from $1B) for a beautiful wife that only Gabriel and his team can find. Loved reading this book full of surprises, twists and turns, fascinating characters, master spies, brilliant hackers, and courageous leaders.
  • TV Series or movie please!

    Once again, Daniel Silva delivers an absolute knockout. Gabriel Allon and his family continue to captivate, balancing edge-of-your-seat suspense with moments that genuinely make you laugh. It’s been especially rewarding to watch the twins grow up throughout the series—they’ve become such a fun part of the story. I’m already looking forward to the next book, but seriously… when are we finally getting a TV series or movie? This series is made for the screen!

    I am a big Daniel Silva fan but his last couple of novels have been meh. He completely took out any references to Israel which in my view made the books interesting. There’s no character arc at all, his children are perfect, his life is golden, his wife is young and beautiful which gets kind of grossly repetitive like why does he keep repeating she’s 30 years younger? And isn’t Gabriel like 70 something years old now and raising 11 year old children? Yet never ever references the issues that come with that. I hope he keeps writing Gabriel’s story, but with more realism and less fantasy.

    Silva’s Gabriel is a favorite character of mine and his cohorts equally as entertaining. This story continues on with the man and his talents for intrigue and guile.
  • One of his best

    This is probably not his best, but it is very good. The great writing and subtle humor is what I love the most.
  • Decent read, not as good as some
