From Daniel Silva, the #1 New York Times–bestselling author, comes a modern masterpiece of espionage, love, and betrayal

She was his best-kept secret …

In an isolated village in the mountains of Andalusia, a mysterious Frenchwoman begins work on a dangerous memoir. It is the story of a man she once loved in the Beirut of old, and a child taken from her in treason’s name. The woman is the keeper of the Kremlin’s most closely guarded secret. Long ago, the KGB inserted a mole into the heart of the West—a mole who stands on the doorstep of ultimate power.

Only one man can unravel the conspiracy: Gabriel Allon, the legendary art restorer and assassin who serves as the chief of Israel’s vaunted secret intelligence service. Gabriel has battled the dark forces of the new Russia before, at great personal cost. Now he and the Russians will engage in a final epic showdown, with the fate of the postwar global order hanging in the balance.

Gabriel is lured into the hunt for the traitor after his most important asset inside Russian intelligence is brutally assassinated while trying to defect in Vienna. His quest for the truth will lead him backward in time, to the twentieth century’s greatest act of treason, and, finally, to a spellbinding climax along the banks of the Potomac River outside Washington that will leave readers breathless.

Fast as a bullet, hauntingly beautiful, and filled with stunning double-crosses and twists of plot, The Other Woman is a tour de force that proves once again that “of all those writing spy novels today, Daniel Silva is quite simply the best” (Kansas City Star).

Ratings and reviews

At the very beginning, I thought this was going to be the most boring of ALL (that's how many I've read) Daniel Silva's books I've read!!!!! But somewhere around the 40th chapter, I changed my mind. Thank goodness. One day, about two years ago, I was wondering (killing time.....lol), in our local drugstore, when I spotted several novels that were marked downed to $5.00 and I bought two, the first one and only one I've read was "Moscow Rules". All the rest of Silva's books have been ebooks. MR is what hooked me on Daniel Silva's books and I am so happy. Congratulations on your move to Florida, but please don't retire anytime soon. This is the first I knew yours and Jamie's children were twins. Please tell them congratulations on their graduation from College. I would love to know where they went to college/university, but I'm sure you would rather keep that quiet. Just tell them one of their dad's biggest (not size) fans ever, was curious. I also live close to the gulf coast of Alabama, go "Bama", and Pensacola, FL. I am so thrilled when you tell Jamie how much you love her and couldn't do without her, from several books. May God bless each of you, Shalom.

Another couldn't-put-down Saturday read when I was supposed to cut the lawn before it rained. The Other Woman is set against today's Western world tumult. Grunts die and the powerful persist.

Another great Gabriel Allon tale. Daniel Silva has done it again. Can't wait for his next story.
