- Madeline Hart is on vacation with friends in Corsica. While there she is kidnapped by an unknown party. Jonathan Lancaster, Prime Minister of Britain asks Graham Seymour of MI5 to find her. Seymour contacts Ari Shamron, who recruits Gabriel Allon. Allon, remembering the anguish he and his wife went through when she was kidnapped agrees to find Madeline. On Corsica, he recruits Christopher Keller who tried to kill him in The English Assassin
. As Allon and Keller are looking for Madeline, the Prime Minister receives a ransom note "You have seven days, or the girl dies..." Allon finds the place that Madeline had been kept, but not the girl herself. The actual ransom demand comes near the end of the seven days and Lancaster pays. However, the girl is not returned. Allon realizing that there is more to the kidnapping than the request for money, gains the okay to investigate using The Office's resources.
