Summary

‘Allon is the 21st century Bond.’ Daily Mail

Gabriel Allon, master art restorer and assassin, returns in a spellbinding new thriller from No.1 bestselling author Daniel Silva. For all fans of Robert Ludlum.

When a beautiful young British woman vanishes on the island of Corsica, a prime minister’s career is threatened with destruction. And Gabriel Allon, master art restorer, spy, and assassin, is thrust into a game of shadows where nothing is what it seems … and where the only thing more dangerous than his enemies might be the truth …

Gripping story

Truly gripping story with the panache to carry off the truly incredible. Not the first I have read of this series and certainly not the last. A touch of class!

Struggling to finish this book

It's a very good storyline but the narration is so appaling, I'm considering jumping to the last chapter to get to the conclusion .
Fortunately subsequent volumes are narrated by the same person as Vol 11, which I very much enjoyed.

A Masterpiece by Silva one of the best books ever

Here's a brilliant story told expertly with characters; read about b4 in other works Exquisitely. It could go on for more chapters.
Silva brings the pages off the book into you're very soul. Don't miss this one EVER!

Gabriel strikes again

I love the Gabriel Allen books and have read many of them including this one. It was also great to have it as an audio book and enjoy it all over again brought to life with voices to add to my perspective of the people
It's great and very enjoyable
