And when she is brutally kidnapped across the border in the Haute-Savoie region of France, Gabriel Allon, the legendary chief of Israeli intelligence, is thrust into a deadly secret war with an old enemy that will determine the future of the Middle East—and perhaps the world 
Driven - Hayden PaddonThe explosive autobiography from New Zealand’s most successful rally driver, Hayden Paddon.Hayden Paddon was just a boy growing up in Geraldine – in love with racing and dreaming big.

He opens up about his struggles with bullying, depression and loss as a young man, and goes on public record for the first time about the 2017 accident in which a spectator was killed and his controversial dismissing from the Hyundai Motorsport team in 2018.LISTEN TO AUDIO ABOVE
