The Black Widow by Daniel Silva - just before Gabriel Allon is about to become the director of Israel's secret service, there is an attack on a Jewish center in Paris. (The author wrote this before recent events in France.) It seems a new leader has risen, calling himself Saladin, and dedicated to cause catastrophe in the west. Gabriel recruits a female doctor to infiltrate the caliphate to find out when and where the next attack will be. Starts pretty slow and ends with a literal bang.There's not enough Gabriel in this book, he seems to have been reduced to mostly a watcher.
