Art restoration and espionage collide in Zurich

Gabriel Allon’s two professions—Israeli intelligence and art restoration—converge when a commission to restore an Old Master’s work places him at the scene of a banker’s murder. Framed and trying to clear his name, he is drawn into a chain of events connecting Nazi art theft, a decades-old suicide, and a series of killings. The Zurich setting and the art-world commission anchor a thriller that also returns Allon to the spy world he thought he had left, with a personal connection to the assassin pursuing him.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in espionage thrillers with an art-restoration premise.
  • Readers drawn to plots involving Nazi art theft and long-buried events.
  • Readers looking for a protagonist balancing an intelligence past with civilian work.

Book overview

Spy turned art restorer Gabriel Allon finds himself accused of murder in this New York Times bestseller from Daniel Silva.

An Israeli spy by trade and art restorer by preference, Gabriel Allon arrives in Zurich to restore the work of an Old Master for a millionaire banker--and finds himself standing in blood and framed for the man's murder.

While trying to clear his name, Allon is swept into a spiraling chain of events involving Nazi art theft, a decades-old suicide, and a dark and bloody trail of killings--some of them his own. The spy world Allon thought he had left behind has come back to haunt him. And he will have to fight for his life--against an assassin he himself helped train.
