Plot

Unlike recent titles in the series, this book is set primarily in Italy as Allon helps the Pope's private secretary, Monsignor Luigi Donati with a case that is troubling The Vatican.[2] The conclusion takes place in Jerusalem.

Reception

It was longlisted for the 2013 IMPAC award, and like others in Silva's Allon series, The Fallen Angel was a New York Times bestseller rising to #1 on the hardcover fiction list in August 2012.[3][4] Zarine Khan was considered for Chimera, a planned movie adaptation of the book,[5] however it did not proceed.
