The Nazis, however, have also chosen an unlikely agent. Catherine Blake is the beautiful widow of a war hero, a hospital volunteer—and a Nazi spy under direct orders from Hitler: uncover the Allied plans for D-Day...

As he delves deeper into the case, he discovers that the theft is part of a larger conspiracy involving a rogue group of neo-Nazis intent on destabilizing Europe. To stop them, Gabriel must use all his skills and resources to expose their plans and prevent a catastrophic attack.

"The Unlikely Spy" showcases Daniel Silva's masterful storytelling and his deep understanding of the world of espionage. Gabriel Allon is a captivating protagonist, a man of action and intellect, whose personal life and professional responsibilities collide in dramatic fashion.
