Gabriel Allon must travel the world to track down a painting worth killing for in this #1 New York Times bestseller. Having retreated to the windswept cliffs of Cornwall with his beautiful wife, Gabriel Allon's seclusion is interrupted by an eccentric London art dealer with a problem. An art restorer has been brutally murdered and a portrait by Rembrandt stolen--and only Gabriel can find it. But as he pursues the masterpiece across the globe, Gabriel discovers there are deadly secrets connected to the painting--and even deadlier men who will do anything to keep them.
This is a great art lovers story as well as historical fiction. The author can not help but bring politics, actual historical events, such as Nazi Germany in the 40's, how art was traded, stolen, lost for generations, as people were. The readers who do not want to read anything about reality, political climate past or present, should stick with Romance novels which are based on fantasy. Silva is a wonderful writer and denying events which have actually happened past or present is a problem with Conservative thinking.
