Allon is recovering from a grueling showdown with a
Palestinian master terrorist, when a figure from his past
arrives in Jerusalem. Monsignor Luigi Donati is the private
secretary to His Holiness Pope Paul VII, and a man as
ruthless as he is intelligent. Now, however, he has come to
seek Allon's help. A young Swiss guard has been found dead
in St. Peter's Basilica, and although Donati has allowed
the official inquiry to determine that it is suicide, his
instinct tells him that it is murder-and that his master is
in grave danger. He has trusted Allon in the past, and he
is the only man he trusts now.
Allon reluctantly agrees to get involved, but once he
begins to investigate he concludes that Donati has every
right to be concerned, as, following the trail from the
heart of the Vatican to the valleys of Switzerland and
beyond, he slowly unravels a conspiracy of lies and
deception. An extraordinary enemy walks among them, with
but one goal: the most spectacular assassination ever
attempted.
Filled with remarkable characters and breathtaking double
and triple turns of plot, The Messenger solidifies Silva's
reputation as his generation's finest writer of
international thrillers.
