What this book is about
Madeline Hart — the British prime minister's secret girlfriend — is taken while on holiday in Corsica. The PM cannot go to his own intelligence services without exposing the affair. He goes to Gabriel Allon instead. The English Girl is the thirteenth Gabriel Allon novel — the political blackmail element gives it a particularly sharp edge.
