Summary

Gabriel Allon, master art restorer and assassin, returns in a spellbinding #1 New York Times bestselling novel‘Allon is the 21st century Bond’ Daily Mail

Bruised and war-weary following his secret war to bring down a terrorist mastermind, Gabriel Allon returns to his beloved Rome to restore a Caravaggio masterpiece.

But early one morning Gabriel is summoned by his friend and occasional ally Monsignor Luigi Donati, the all-powerful private secretary to the Pope. The broken body of a beautiful woman lies beneath Michelangelo's magnificent dome. Donati fears a public inquiry will inflict more wounds on an already-damaged Church so he calls upon Gabriel to use his matchless talents and experience to quietly pursue the truth – was it suicide, or something more sinister?

Gabriel discovers that the woman revealed a dangerous secret that threatens powers beyond the Vatican. And an old enemy plots revenge in the shadows, an unthinkable act of sabotage that will plunge the world into a conflict of apocalyptic proportions. Once again Gabriel must return to the ranks of his old intelligence service—and place himself, and those he holds dear, on the razor’s edge of danger.

Praise for Daniel Silva:

’Sexily brooding Allon… must be the most famous superspy not played by Daniel Craig’ Daily Telegraph

elegantly paced, subtle and well-informed. If you haven’t read Silva before, try Portrait of a Spy – and then go back and read the series.’ Daily Mail

‘[A] top-notch thriller by a writer with the inside track on spying’ The Sun

'In true Bauer fashion, shoot-outs, kidnappings and international terror plots follow Gabriel Allon wherever he goes' USA Today

‘Silva builds tension with breathtaking double and triple turns of the plot’ People

Another brilliant read

Once again we listened together over several weeks, drawing out every word of this fiction based on so much fact. Can't wait for the next book when we re on holiday

Great story but also very informative

Fascinating twists and turns as always but I also enjoyed the Epilogue where the author expanded on the historical facts that informed the plot

Annoying narrator

I've just finished listening to Portrait Of A Spy which I thoroughly enjoyed. Narrated by Simon Vance there was a decent gravitas to the story. This book follows on but ufortunately sounds like it's been narrated by Hawkeye from M*A*S*H. There's a habit of rising inflection which cheapens the characters and makes it sound like a jolly caper instead of a sweeping tale. I hope the story can outweigh the narration so I can make it to the end.

Sooo predictable...

What did you like best about The Fallen Angel? What did you like least?

Exciting story-line but outcomes are so predictable. Gabriel saves Israel, Gabriel saves the Pope, the bad guy falls to his death and kills himself when Gabriel didn't have enough evidence... If you read the previous book you know everything in advance.

Biased and unbalanced

Enjoyed the previous book and this one started well until the the second half. A very biased and unbalanced view of the Middle East conflict, Palestinian shopkeepers described as greedy who prey on tourists, Muslim family who hog footpaths and don’t get out of the way for Israelis. A Pope who spent half a day in the holy land and after a few meetings with the Muslim leaders immediately sided with the Israeli’s!! I’m Irish, I understand better than anyone the importance of balance when discussing conflict.
