Moscow Rules

In Daniel Silva's gripping thriller "Moscow Rules," Israeli master spy Gabriel Allon is drawn into a high-stakes investigation following the suspicious death of a journalist. His pursuit leads him deep into the heart of a resurgent, oil-rich Moscow, a city dramatically transformed since the Soviet era but still dominated by Kremlin power and ruthless silencing of dissent. Allon quickly uncovers a dangerous plot orchestrated by Ivan Kharkov, a ruthless ex-KGB operative who has amassed a vast financial empire, partially through illicit arms dealing. Kharkov is on the verge of supplying sophisticated Russian weaponry to a formidable enemy of the United States, threatening global stability. Allon must navigate the treacherous political landscapes from Vatican City to St. Petersburg, Jerusalem to Washington, D.C., playing a dangerous game against the clock and by the unforgiving 'Moscow Rules' to prevent a catastrophic arms transfer and challenge a new generation of Stalinists bent on reclaiming former glory.
