I'm afraid I am disappointed in the latest book in the Gabriel Allon series. Unsurprisingly, he is still not in the Chief's chair and is deeply involved in another operation. He works it with his Corsican resident and English friend, Christopher Keller. Keller is compelled to work for MI-6, in what I suspect is an assignment we will see more of. I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes Gabriel's right-hand man. Their opponent is an Irish hit man hired by the Russians to kill Allon in an incredibly complex operation. The Iranians are also complicit. Not surprisingly, revenge is obtained.
This series is one of the best out there and one of my favorites. I'll be curious to see what the professional reviewers think. The amateurs have already signaled their approval. It felt flat, redundant and out-of-sync to me.
