Plot

Gabriel Allon is now the head of Israeli intelligence, but he has retained the former chief, Uzi Navot, to handle some of the routine tasks while Gabriel focusses on the really big problems. The Islamic State is following up the Paris and Washington, D.C., bombings of the previous novel, The Black Widow, with disastrous attacks on London and Paris. Gabriel is in the Paris building when it is bombed, but he survives. He focuses on the route by which arms are being distributed. A wealthy Frenchman from Marseilles whose hospitality empire serves to launder the proceeds of his drug trafficking turns out to be the thread that leads Gabriel and his team to Morocco, where they encounter fire demons, a drug traffic organizer, and "Saladin," the antagonist of the previous book, who is the mastermind of the bomb attacks on Western Europe and America.
