The New Girl by Daniel Silva takes us to Saudi Arabia and across Europe as superspy Gabriel Allon is on a mission to ensure that the Saudi crown prince becomes king. It asks the question, "What if Mohammad Bin Salman had his reasons for killing Jamal Khashoggi?" Would you be interested in reading a book about that? Sounds strange, right? It is.

It's a surreal book that exists in an alternate reality made possible by tight publishing deadlines and a crown prince who didn't do what he was supposed to.
