The Messenger (2006) (edit title/settings)

Flavia-Adriana edited the description of The Messenger Saturday, March 3, 2012.

• Allon is recovering from his grueling showdown with a Palestinian master terrorist, when terrorism comes to find him once again.

  An al-Qaeda suspect is killed in London, and photographs are found on his computer-photographs that lead Israeli intelligence to suspect that al-Qaeda is planning one of its most audacious attacks ever. To Allon, there is something terribly familiar about the information, something horrifyingly close--butclose -- but even he does not realize how close. Urgently, he throws himself into the hunt, but there may simply not be enough of anything: enough time, enough facts, enough luck. An extraordinary enemy walks among them . . . and he's just getting started.

  Filled with remarkable characters and breathtaking double and triple turns of plot, The Messenger solidifies Silva's reputation as his generations' finest writer of international thrillers.
