Here he finds that in terms of spycraft, even he has something to learn. He's playing by Moscow rules now. It is not the grim Moscow of Soviet times, but a new Moscow, awash in oil wealth and bulletproof Bentleys. A Moscow where power resides once more behind the walls of the Kremlin and where critics of the ruling class are ruthlessly silenced. A Moscow where a new generation of Stalinists are plotting to reclaim an empire lost and to challenge the global dominance of their old enemy, the United States. One such man is Ivan Kharkov, a former KGB colonel who built a global investment empire on the rubble of the Soviet Union. Hidden within that empire, however, is a more lucrative and deadly business. Kharkov is an arms dealer - and he is about 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 since 9\/11 - and the clock is ticking fast.ReviewsIn true Bauer fashion, shootouts, kidnappings and internationalterror plots follow him wherever he goes.*USA Today*'It is an exciting, entertaining novel with a terrifyingmessage.*Literary Review*Nerve-searing and painfully brilliant*Death in Vienna*In true Bauer fashion, shootouts, kidnappings and internationalterror plots follow him wherever he goes.*USA Today*'It is an exciting, entertaining novel with a terrifyingmessage.*Literary Review*Nerve-searing and painfully brilliant*Death in Vienna*Short on moral complexity, bestseller Silva's eighth thrillerstarring Israeli master-spy Gabriel Allon (after The SecretServant) may remind some readers of an action-packed andsuspenseful episode of TV's Mission Impossible. Allon's honeymoonwith his second wife comes to an abrupt end on his learning that aRussian arms dealer, Ivan Kharkov, is involved in a weaponsshipment to al-Qaeda for use in a major terrorist attack whosedetails are a mystery to the CIA as well as to British and Israeliintelligence.
