The Fallen Angel is a 2012 spy novel by Daniel Silva. It is the twelfth in Gabriel Allon series.
"This book runs along the Jerusalem-to-Rome historical axis. It goes sort of backward in time from Rome to Jerusalem," said Daniel Silva.[2] The first part of the book is set in Italy as Allon helps the Pope's private secretary, Monsignor Luigi Donati, with a case that is troubling The Vatican.[3] Silva includes episodes exploring the traffic in looted antiquities and the history and meaning of the Temple Mount to all three Abrahamic religions.[4]
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.[5][6] Zarine Khan was considered for Chimera, a planned movie adaptation of the book,[7] however it did not proceed.
