The Secret Servant

(Thanks to Mark for loaning me this novel)

The Secret Servant (2007) by Daniel Silva

The protagonist is an Israeli intelligence officer named Gabriel Allon.

Set in modern Europe, the plot involves Muslim terrorists who kidnap the daughter of an American ambassador.

An ominous portrayal of how bad things are going to get in Europe.

A "moderate Muslim" who tries to do the right thing is murdered by his own son, one of the terrorists.

It would make an excellent movie, too bad Hollywood won't consider it.

Feel free to pass it on or place it on the lodge bookshelf.
