It begins out with ISIS lugging out a major bomb blast in Paris’ Marais area. To forestall more assaults, the French government implores Gabriel Allon, who is close to take over as leader of Israel’s secret intelligence organization.

The genius behind the bombing, that it had all but dragged Allon onto the field for one more action, was eliminated.
