Representaion In Favor Of Books The Rembrandt Affair (Gabriel Allon #10)
Two families, one terrible secret, and a painting to die for ... Determined to sever his ties with the Office, Gabriel Allon has retreated to the windswept cliffs of Cornwall with his beautiful Venetian-born wife Chiara. But once again his seclusion is interrupted by a visitor from his tangled past: the endearingly eccentric London art dealer, Julian Isherwood. As usual, Isherwood has a problem. And it is one only Gabriel can solve. In the ancient English city of Glastonbury, an art restorer has been brutally murdered and a long-lost portrait by Rembrandt mysteriously stolen. Despite his reluctance, Gabriel is persuaded to use his unique skills to search for the painting and those responsible for the crime. But as he painstakingly follows a trail of clues leading from Amsterdam to Buenos Aires and, finally, to a villa on the graceful shores of Lake Geneva, Gabriel discovers there are deadly secrets connected to the painting. And evil men behind them. Before he is done, Gabriel will once again be drawn into a world he thought he had left behind forever, and will come face to face with a remarkable cast of characters: a glamorous London journalist who is determined to undo the worst mistake of her career, an elusive master art thief who is burdened by a conscience, and a powerful Swiss billionaire who is known for his good deeds but may just be behind one of the greatest threats facing the world.Rating Epithetical Books The Rembrandt Affair (Gabriel Allon #10)

The Rembrandt Affair by Daniel Silva (pp. 484)This may be one of Silvas best yet. In the 11th installment of the Gabriel Allon series wraps art provenance with holocaust mystery and spins it into modern-day thriller involving multiple secret service organizations and a James Bond backdrop amongst the elite and privileged. As the makings of a great spy thriller go, hes not lacking in the classic elements and again deftly weaves them in a fast moving, smart tale that leaves you satisfied andLike most of Silva's works, this one belongs at the head of the class. Unlike some of his works, however, this one does not suffer from a thin plot. Rather, it has a decent set of layers to the story. And the cast of regulars continues to be a nice blend of competent and capable and flawed and damaged, starting with Gabriel Allon, the art restorer and occasional (and reluctant) Israeli spy and assassin. In this outing, Allon is on the trail of a story dating back to World War II, brought to his
The stranger has returned.An art restorer has been murdered, and painting is missing. Gabriel Allon and his team must find the lost painting whose previous owners were holocaust victims and Nazi war criminal. The first part of the book was exciting to read when Gabriel Allon and Chiara investigate the lost painting. The second part story on billionaire man named Martin Landesmann who is an art collector, also interested in the missing painting and sells a nuclear component to Iran, was a bit
This is the first book of the Gabriel Allon series that I have read--and it was quite a ride. It starts out a bit slow. Gabriel Allon is a first-class art restorer, and he is asked to help find a stolen painting. Allon says that in order to find where a piece of stolen art is going, it is usually worthwhile to find where it has been. So, he looks into the history of the painting, and finds out that it was stolen by the Nazis during World War II.As it turns out, Gabriel Allon is not only an art
This is the first time I have read a Daniel Silva novel and I was not disappointed. I'm only sorry I picked up on Gabriel Allon's eventful career so late into the novels. Gabriel Allon is a retired Israeli secret agent/assassin, living with his beautiful second wife Chiara, off the coast of Cornwall. But do secret agents ever retire? Not likely. And do art restorers ever manage to hang up their brushes? Also, not likely. For Gabriel is an art restorer as part of his cover. He also happens to be
The only thing more secretive than a Swiss bank is a Swiss art gallery.Always good to catch up with a Gabriel Allon, Israeli masterspy / art restorer thriller, and this one revolves around an unknown painting of Rembrandt of his mistress (Hendrickje Stoffels), to round off my trifecta of Dutch art of the golden age (Girl With A Pearl Earring, The Last Painting of Sara de Vos).Gabriel and Chiarra are (allegedly) retired and living in Cornwall when he learns thorough London art dealer Julian
