From the Publisher:
Recovering from a showdown with a master terrorist in Jerusalem, art restorer and spy Gabriel Allon is enlisted by a ruthless papal secretary to assist in the investigation of a murdered Swiss guard whose killer may be targeting the pope. By the author of On the trail of a deadly al-Qaeda operative, Gabriel Allon returns in a spellbinding story of deception, power, and revenge by the New York Times bestselling "world-class practitioner of spy fiction" (Washington Post). |
Annotation:
Ardent art restorer and sometimes spy Gabriel Allon is called out of retirement after the Vatican and the Pope are targeted in a fundamentalist Islamic attack. Allon must bring all of his cloak-and-dagger arts to bear upon the perpetrator, the extremist Saudi billionaire known as Zizi--a man who shares Allon's fondness for the arts.

Praise
"What makes this series fascinating is the interplay between standard spy-thriller fare of glamorous locales..., double and triple crosses, and justified paranoia with the passionate, tragic figure of Allon himself. An engrossing and beautifully written contemporary spy thriller." (starred review)
