It is a believable storyline.
I eagerly anticipate every next book in the Gabriel Allon series. Silva's writing is excellent - he puts you in the moment with this characters, and I have to force myself to slow down and not devour the entire book in a few days.
Silva’s protagonist Gabriel Allon is an art restorer and master spy.
His adventures are thrilling and keep you turning pages late to see what’s next. I try to go slowly to savor the experience of each new book, but I find myself furiously reading and loving every minute of the thrill ride. Start with number 1 and you’ll have a wonderful time getting to this one, number 23 in the Allon series.
