Więcej o książce

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES NO.1 BESTSELLER. A brutal murder, a missing masterpiece, and a mystery only Gabriel Allon can solve… Acclaimed author Daniel Silva returns with a highly anticipated thriller. Art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon attends a reception in London for the return of a stolen Van Gogh self-portrait. However, when an old friend from the Devon and Cornwall Police requests his help with a perplexing murder case, he faces a formidable new enemy. The victim, Charlotte Blake, a renowned Oxford art history professor, was killed in a seaside village where Gabriel once lived under an alias. Her murder seems linked to a serial killer terrorizing Cornwall, but inconsistencies arise, including a missing mobile phone and a cryptic three-letter cipher found in her study. Gabriel learns that Professor Blake was on the trail of a looted Picasso valued at over $100 million. He embarks on the quest for the painting, equipped with six Impressionist forgeries and an unexpected team that includes a famous violinist, a master thief, and a deadly contract killer turned British spy. This stylish and thrilling mystery races from Cornwall’s cliffs to Corsica and culminates in a breathtaking climax at 10 Downing Street.
