The chief of Israeli Intelligence recalls two former agents in order to eliminate a top Palestinian terrorist. One agent is now an art restorer, the other a fashion model. Ten years before, on a mission to destroy the Arab Black September group, they were briefly lovers.

Now their pasts and their enemies come back to haunt them, as the terrorist murders ambassadors in Paris and Holland. Will the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks be his next target? And what motivates the terrorist? Is it politics, or is it possibly personal?

Set mainly in London, but with forays into Paris, Amsterdam, the Middle East, and North America, this thriller has all Daniel Silva's hallmarks of strong characters, unusual backgrounds, and a page-turning narrative.
