Gabriel Allon's nightmares come back to haunt him in this tense thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva.
Art restorer and sometime spy Gabriel Allon is sent to Vienna to discover the truth behind a bombing that killed an old friend, but while there he encounters something that turns his world upside down. It is a face--a face that feels hauntingly familiar, a face that chills him to the bone. While desperately searching for answers, Allon will uncover a portrait of evil stretching across sixty years and thousands of lives--and into his own personal nightmares..."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Gabriel Allon hasn't been back to Vienna since his wife and child died there in a terrorist bombing. But when his mentor in the Israeli intelligence agency dispatches him to the Austrian capital to investigate a murderous explosion at the Wartime Claims and Inquiry Office, his presence draws the attention of police officials who have reasons to stand in the way of his investigation. When a concentration camp survivor is killed who could link the father of Austria's next chancellor to Nazi atrocities and an ongoing coverup by the Catholic church, Allon discovers another connection to the conspiracy, this one closer to his own past than he could ever have imagined.
This is the third of Silva's thrillers featuring Allon, the art restorer who's also a spy. (The Confessor and The English Assassin are the first two.) In an endnote, the author calls them a "completed cycle dealing with the unfinished business of the Holocaust". Allon is such a compelling hero that one hopes Silva, a skilled craftsman and a terrific storyteller, will bring him back in another series. --Jane Adams, Amazon.com
"Not one for cookie-cutter cheap thrills, Silva's mastered the art of weaving provocative narrative, espionage and foreign intrigue."--Chicago Sun-Times
"A masterful and compelling tale of evil, treachery and revenge...goes to the top of the list of this year's best."--Rocky Mountain News "A masterfully constructed tale of memory and revenge. It demonstrates that thrillers can be more than entertainment."--The Miami Herald "[A] superbly crafted narrative of espionage and foreign intrigue."--Publishers Weekly "A thriller that's not content to be just a thriller, as it delves into issues involving the Holocaust and its perpetrators and survivors."--The Kansas City Star "[A] world-class practitioner of spy fiction... Silva writes with style, economy and a sure command of the historical record...a skillful novelist who does justice to the often heartbreaking material without exploiting it."--The Washington Post Book World "Reads like an exquisitely suspenseful chess game."--Booklist"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
