Description

Few recent thriller writers have thrilled the type of critical praise that Daniel Silva has, together with his novels featuring art restorer and sometime spy Gabriel Allon. Today Allon is in Venice, whenever a terrible explosion in Rome results in a disturbing personal revelation: the existence of a dossier in the hands of terrorists that strips away his secrets, lays bare his history. Hastily recalled home to Israel, drawn once more in to the heart of something he'd once forsaken, Gabriel Allon finds himself stalking an elusive master terrorist across a landscape drenched in generations of blood, along a path that keeps submiting upon itself, until, eventually, he can't be sure who's stalking whom. And when finally the expected showdown comes, itis not Gabriel alone who's threatened with destruction-for it's not his history alone that's been laid bare.
