The Defector

In "The Defector," bestselling author Daniel Silva returns to the adventures of Gabriel Allon, art restorer and sometimes assassin, just six months after the action in "Moscow Rules." Gabriel's hopes for quiet time with his new wife are slashed when he learns that defector and former Russian intelligence officer Grigori Bulganov, who saved Gabriel's life in Moscow, has vanished. British intelligence believes he was a double agent all along, but Gabriel knows better. So, Gabriel sets out on a cross-continent quest to find his friend and clear his Grigori's name. But when Gabriel is faced with losing that which is most precious to him, he will have to make decisions that will change his life forever.
