Description

Art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon must solve the perfect crime in the dazzling new tale of murder, greed, and corruption from #1 New York Times bestselling novelist Daniel Silva.

"Daniel Silva spins a yarn better than any living author and I appreciated the chance to disappear into a great book, if only for a single night (there is no stopping a Silva book once I've begun). --Todd Wilkins, Best Thriller Books

Sometimes the only way to recover a stolen masterpiece is to steal it back . . .

Gabriel Allon has been awarded a commission to restore one of the most important paintings in Venice. But when he discovers the body of a mysterious woman floating in the waters of the Venetian Lagoon, he finds himself in a desperate race to recover a lost masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci.

The painting, a portrait of a beautiful young girl, has been gathering dust in a storeroom at the Vatican Museums for more than a century, misattributed and hidden beneath a worthless picture by an unknown artist. Because no one knows that the Leonardo is there, no one notices when it disappears one night during a suspicious power outage. No one but the ruthless mobsters and moneymen behind the theft -- and the mysterious woman whom Gabriel found in a watery grave in Venice. A woman without a name. A woman without a face.

The action moves at breakneck speed from the galleries and auction houses of London to an enclave of unimaginable wealth on the French Riviera -- and, finally, to a shocking climax in St. Peter's Square, where the life of a pope hangs in the balance. An elegant and stylish journey through the dark side of the art world and the Vatican's murky finances, An Inside Job proves once again that Daniel Silva is the reigning master of international intrigue and suspense.

Reviews

  • A wonderful story

    By paintdragons
    This is his best yet. I was sucked into the story and could hardly put the book down. The ending is perfect and I’m so warmed by the inclusion of his son’s artistic ability. Truly a wonderful story.

    Entertaining dialogue between the main character and just about all the other characters, and the story telling kept up the pace, enthralling the reader. Too much politicizing that wasn’t necessary nor did it move the plot along.
  • Inside Job

    By CreekNine
    Another wonderful book written by Silva. One of the masters of historical fiction.
  • Not his best, but still quite good

    By Economan1
    It’s quite different from his other books, because it is more subdued (fewer frantic action episodes). But full of delicious nuances of words and characters and a very subtle humor. Some politics is involved, but it’s not obnoxious. If there is a living person who is lauded, it’s not a liberal politician, but rather an Argentine bishop who became a Pope.
  • Great Italian based storyline

    By Samnite100
    Let’s see more action outside of Italy please!
