Daniel Silva, the unrivaled #1 New York Times bestselling author, presents a contemporary masterpiece woven with espionage, romance, and betrayal.

Guarding the Kremlin's most classified secret, a mysterious Frenchwoman embarks on the creation of a perilous memoir in an isolated village nestled in the Andalusian mountains. The narrative unfolds in the ancient streets of Beirut, revealing the tale of a man she once loved and a child snatched away in the name of treachery.

In the heart of the West, a long-embedded mole, a puppet of the KGB, awaits on the threshold of ultimate power. To dismantle this intricate conspiracy, there exists only one man with the skill and resolve—Gabriel Allon, the famed art restorer and assassin who leads Israel’s elite intelligence service. Having previously confronted the malevolent forces of the new Russia at great personal cost, Gabriel is compelled to engage in a final, monumental clash, determining the destiny of the global order in the aftermath of war.

The quest for truth intensifies after Gabriel's key asset within Russian intelligence is ruthlessly slain during a defection attempt in Vienna. This pursuit takes him on a journey through time, unraveling the layers of the twentieth century's most profound act of betrayal. The relentless pursuit culminates in a breathtaking climax along the banks of the Potomac River, just outside Washington, leaving readers captivated and breathless.

With the speed of a bullet, a haunting beauty, and an array of astonishing double-crosses and plot twists, "The Other Woman" stands as a tour de force, solidifying Daniel Silva's position as the unparalleled master of the spy novel, with critics affirming that "of all those writing in the espionage genre today, Daniel Silva is unequivocally the best."
