Description

Spy turned art restorer Gabriel Allon finds himself accused of murder in this New York Times bestseller from Daniel Silva.

An Israeli spy by trade and art restorer by preference, Gabriel Allon arrives in Zurich to restore the work of an Old Master for a millionaire banker—and finds himself standing in blood and framed for the man’s murder.

While trying to clear his name, Allon is swept into a spiraling chain of events involving Nazi art theft, a decades-old suicide, and a dark and bloody trail of killings—some of them his own. The spy world Allon thought he had left behind has come back to haunt him. And he will have to fight for his life—against an assassin he himself helped train.

  • Finally Found a Spy Thriller That Really Entertains

    I love Robert Ludlum and have been looking for someone who spins the kind of yarns Ludlum did. The English Assassin definitely scratched that Ludlum itch I’ve had for years. I’m going to start at the beginning of the Allon character series and see how that goes.

  • Fantastic author and great storyteller

    I just completed my 2nd read of this book as I make my way thru the series a 2nd time. One of the advantages of getting old is you can read a book twice 22 years apart and still get the same enjoyment. Daniel Silva books are the type of books I look for and he in my opinion is the best. Great characters, great stories; he makes me feel like I’m part of the team. I hope you enjoy them as much as I and i suggest you read them in order.

    Kept me reading late into the night with both the intrigue of the mystery as well as the historical background. Daniel Silva spins a great yarn and I might be just a little bit in love with Gabriel Allon.

  • Historically fascinating

    The plot is exceptionally good. A real page turner. I was amazed that many works of art plundered by the Germans are still missing. It make the story interesting and believable.

    Finished in less than 24 hours. Felt I was part of the story and could not stop reading. This is the way I read Ludlum; how great to find another author with the skill/artistry to let you escape and make you think.

  • A real page turner.

    I have over the summer read all Silva's books. He is an excellent story teller. His details move the story along and add great interest. Since I work long hours, travel outside the US is non-existent. I admire the passion of Gabriel and envy the places he has visited. I did not read the books in order, yet that created no problem. The story and characters were fulfilling. His historicity is compelling. His faithfulness to the story (stories) of the Horror done in WW 2 reminds ALL of us the legacy that needs redemption. Thank you Daniel!
