![]() The book really takes off at this point, and I had a hard time putting it down so that I could get some sleep.Įarlier in the series, Silva wrote three books that deal with the “unfinished business of the Holocaust.” These are still my favorite books. The plan hums along until Gabriel’s new wife is kidnapped by Kharkov. When Bulganov is kidnapped and taken back to Russia, Gabriel calls in favors and reunites with his old team from the Office–Israeli Intelligence. The plot revolves around a promise Allon made to Grigory Bulganov not to let him be buried in an unmarked grave. Even though Kharkov was nearly ruined in the last book, he still has enough money and influence to kidnap a Russian defector (hence the title) who helped Allon bring Kharkov down. The Defector, the ninth book to feature Gabriel Allon, picked up almost immediately after the events of Moscow Rules and features the same antagonist, Ivan Kharkov. I meant to write about this last week after I finished the book, but I got busy re-reading the Harry Potter series. ![]()
