Publisher's Summary
#1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva delivers another stunning thriller in his latest action-packed tale of high stakes international intrigue.
The hunt is on for the greatest art forger who ever lived ...
Legendary spy and art restorer Gabriel Allon has at long last severed ties with Israeli intelligence and settled quietly with his beautiful wife and their young twins in Venice, the only place he has ever truly known peace.
But when the eccentric London art dealer Julian Isherwood asks Gabriel to investigate the circumstances surrounding the rediscovery and lucrative sale of a centuries-old painting, he is drawn into a deadly game of cat and mouse where nothing is as it seems.
Gabriel soon discovers that the work in question, a portrait of an unidentified woman attributed to Sir Anthony van Dyck, is almost certainly a fiendishly clever fake. To find the mysterious figure who painted it-and uncover a multibillion-dollar fraud at the pinnacle of the art world-Gabriel conceives one of the most elaborate deceptions of his career. If it is to succeed, he must become the very mirror image of the man he seeks: the greatest art forger the world has ever known.
'Reading the latest Gabriel Allon is like visiting an old friend. Another tour de force by the master.' Bob Woodward
'Silva can really write. The bastard.' James Patterson
'A smart summer escape.' Kirkus, starred review
'Daniel Silva has few rivals' The Age
'Daniel Silva is that rarity of rarities, a writer whose stories just keep getting better' Huffington Post

Disappointing
I used to wait in anticipation for the next Gabriel Allon novel, but I think I’ve bought my last. This was probably the weakest so far, and the story has lost all the excitement and energy of the past novels. I also found the accents in the audiobook completely wrong, which further distracted from the enjoyment. Disappointing overall.

Not his usual fair
I enjoyed this book but not as much as his previous books. It seemed a bit long and so many characters that it was hard to keep track of them all. The ending was also a bit of an anti-climax. But I will keep reading his books in the hope that the excitement returns.

Very very disappointing
I was completely bored by this title and could only listen for about an hour. Overwritten and tedious.

A shame this just didn’t gel
I really wanted to love this but in the end I couldn’t. I just couldn’t.

Hilarious
I’m sure this is a good story but it is thoroughly let down by the awful reader. Ghastly fake “foreign” accents from the 70s, ridiculous female voicing and overall hammy performance make it unlistenable-to and unfortunately, unintentionally hilarious. Eventually stopped listening as I’m pretty sure this isn’t meant to be a comedy.
