Signed First Edition, First Printing of this thriller in which routinely almost-killed art restorer/assassin Gabriel Allon is enjoying a change in the weather. He's honeymooning in Umbria and leisurely restoring a sensational 17th century altarpiece on commission from the Vatican. Oh. oh. In this case, oh oh, means a vicious Russian oligarch with aspirations of putting Garbriel, among others, in mortal danger. A sequel to "Moscow Rules." Signed by Daniel Silva on a page at front. 469 pages. Has tanning on the page edges and a bit of edgewear. Seller Inventory # 016032
Six months afrer the dramatic conclusion of Moscow Rules, Gabriel has returned to the tan hills of Umbria to resume his honeymoon with his new wife, Chiara, and restore a seventeenth century altarpiece for the Vatican. But his idyllic world is once again thrown into turmoil with shocking news from London. The defector and former Russian intelligence officer Grigori Bulganov, who saved Gabriel's life in Moscow, has vanished without a trace. British intelligence is sure he was a double agent all along, but Gabriel knows better. He also knows he made a promise.
In the days to come, Gabriel and his team of operatives will find themselves in a deadly duel of nerve and wits with one of the world's most ruthless men: the murderous Russian oligarch and arms dealer Ivan Kharkov. It will take Gabriel from a quiet mews in London, to the shores of Lake Como, to the glittering streets of Geneva and Zurich, and, finally, to a heartstopping climax in the snowbound birch forests of Russia. Faced with the prospect of losing the one thing he holds most dear, Gabriel will be tested in ways he never imagined possible. And his life will never be the same.
