Book Log 2023 #16: Prince of Fire by Daniel Silva

Art restorer/intelligence officer Gabriel Allon is brought back into the fold when the bombing of Israel's embassy in Rome is connected to some highly classified files that would blow Allon's cover. He returns to Israel and officially rejoins the agency known as The Office, where he's put in charge of investigating the attack on the embassy. 

Allon assembles a team of agents, who eventually uncover the connection between a series of attacks, and the likely date of the next one. Allon goes back on the street to find the mastermind of the attacks, at one point meeting with Yassir Arafat for information (Allon apparently saved Arafat's life at some point, so is owed a favor).  But the mastermind of the attacks is one step ahead of Allon, forcing him to make a potentially painful choice if he wants to prevent the next attack.

This is the first book in the series to really focus on terrorism. The previous books were more focused on the lingering aftermath of the Holocaust, and in an interview Silva said he saw this book as the end of the series rather than the beginning of a new one. Given how many books there are in this series overall, I'll be interested to see if that's actually true.
