This is a Gabriel Allon novel.Gabriel is a premier art restorer living in Italy. he is also one of Israel's top "retired" agents. His life is turned upside down when an explosion destroys the Israeli embassy in Rome, his own dossier,(blowing his cover), is discovered in terrorist hands, and he finds he must stop a master terrorist whose M.O. is familiar, but should no longer exist. This is a very good read, as are most of Mr. Silva's novels.

An interesting thriller that I found stranger than science fiction in the way it documents Palestinian/Israeli relations. If not for the setting, I would have found the book unremarkable, but instead, it will stay with me beyond the read.

While the plot is interesting and you get a good background of the history between Israelis and Palestinians, at times it is not easy to read.
Mr. Silva creates yet another case for Gabriel to solve. But this one could cost him more than anything.
I cannot wait to read the next one.
