The Heist

Artistic Spy

The fourteenth book in Daniel Silva's series about Gabriel Allon, a master art restorer and reluctant spy-assassin for the Israli secret service.  Silva's books with Allon as hero are well-researched, giving as much information about art as about Middle East politics. Keeping Israel safe from terrosists is Allon's greatest mission, even as he keeps trying to quit and settle down to a peaceful life as an artist with his wife Chiara. In this book, he sets out to search for a stolen masterpiece by Caravaggio. To do this, he has to pull off an art heist himself to smoke out the bunch of villains from their global dens. After the superb The English Girl, the latest Allon novel stands alongside the best in thriller fiction.
