About this title: Israeli art restorer and secret agent Gabriel Allon travels to Zurich to restore a priceless painting for wealthy banker and collector Augustus Rolfe. When he arrives, he finds Rolfe murdered, and as he begins to investigate the death the plot quickly thickens--it seems that Rolfe had his own ties to Israeli intelligence.

"This is the first Daniel Silva book I have read and I wasn't disappointed! The stories first chapter grabs you immediatley and it's tough to put this book down. Gabriel Allon is the art restorer/ Isarali secret agent who is called upon to restore a Raphael in the Rolfe home in Sweden. When he arrives, he finds the owner of the home dead and he is later arrested for the murder. I haven't read the other books about Gabriel Allon but I didn't feel as if I missed out on much. I was able to get into the story with no problem. I can't compare this book to other ones though but I plan on reading more. As Gabriel gets deeper into this situation people from his past come back to ask him to complete this "job." He meets the daughter of the dead man, Anna Rolfe, who is a famous violinist and diva. He is pitted against the English assasin who is a former army man turned contract killer for an Italian family in Corsica. Silva continues with the action but also develops his quirky characters. You really are interested in these people and their relationships. I really enjoyed this book and it's unique premise about stolen art that dated back to the Nazi regime. For a good old fashion international spy thriller, this book is it!"
"I enjoy this series although this book isn't one of my favorites. I would encourage you to start with the first book and read them in order to follow the main character's development."
"This is an excellent series. Great mysteries, wonderful characters (the good, bad and ugly)and a learning experience. Read them and find out for yourself."
"Very Good; Continuing character: Gabriel Allon; Allon heads to Switzewrland for a restoration, and finds himself immersed in a mystery involving art thefts during WWII, Swiss secrecy, and a beautiful violinist"
