Moscow Rules, by Daniel Silva

Pick of the Month: Moscow Rules, by Daniel Silva. The Russian intelligence services, whether they be the now defunct Soviet KGB or its progenitor the FSB have always played by their own rules and for keeps. They don't hesitate to eliminate a Russian journalist in London, or to torture a prisoner in the dank halls of the Lubianka. This fast paced and intense novel of intrigue is number ten in the Gabriel Allon series. Gabriel Allon catches wind of a Russian arms dealer trading a powerful weapon to some really bad guys, but who, when, where, and how are all open questions that must be answered. Allon, with the help of his friends in the CIA, MI6, and even the French must work against time and the odds to uncover the Russian Arms deal and stop the buyers from wreaking havoc on the western world.
