Summary:
"Decidido a cortar os laços com o Departamento, Gabriel Allon refugiou-se nos penhascos da Cornualha com a sua bela mulher, Chiara. Mas, uma vez mais, esse isolamento é interrompido por alguém vindo do seu complexo passado: Julian Isherwood, o sedutor e excêntrico negociante de arte londrino. Como de costume, Isherwood tem um problema. E apenas Gabriel o pode resolver. Em Glastonbury, um restaurador de arte é brutalmente assassinado e um quadro de
Rembrandt
, há muito desaparecido, é misteriosamente roubado. Apesar da sua relutância, Gabriel é persuadido a utilizar os seus talentos singulares para encontrar o quadro e os responsáveis pelo crime. Mas, ao seguir meticulosamente um rasto de pistas com início em Amesterdão, passagem por Buenos Aires e fim numa villa nas margens graciosas do Lago Genebra, Gabriel descobre que há segredos mortíferos associados ao quadro. E homens malévolos por trás deles. Uma vez mais, Gabriel vai ser atraído para um mundo que pensava ter deixado para sempre e deparar-se-á com um elenco extraordinário: uma deslumbrante jornalista londrina, determinada a desfazer o pior erro da carreira, um esquivo ladrão de arte, atormentado pela sua consciência, e um influente multimilionário suíço, conhecido pelas suas boas ações mas bem capaz de estar por trás de uma das maiores ameaças que o mundo enfrenta." -- cover.
"Two families, one terrible secret, and a painting to die for... Determined to sever his ties with the Office, Gabriel Allon has retreated to the windswept cliffs of Cornwall with his beautiful Venetian-born wife Chiara. But once again his seclusion is interrupted by a visitor from his tangled past: the endearingly eccentric London art dealer, Julian Isherwood. As usual, Isherwood has a problem. And it is one only Gabriel can solve. In the ancient English city of Glastonbury, an art restorer has been brutally murdered and a long-lost portrait by
Rembrandt
mysteriously stolen. Despite his reluctance, Gabriel is persuaded to use his unique skills to search for the painting and those responsible for the crime. But as he painstakingly follows a trail of clues leading from Amsterdam to Buenos Aires and, finally, to a villa on the graceful shores of Lake Geneva, Gabriel discovers there are deadly secrets connected to the painting. And evil men behind them. Before he is done, Gabriel will once again be drawn into a world he thought he had left behind forever, and will come face to face with a remarkable cast of characters: a glamorous London journalist who is determined to undo the worst mistake of her career, an elusive master art thief who is burdened by a conscience, and a powerful Swiss billionaire who is known for his good deeds but may just be behind one of the greatest threats facing the world."--Publisher.
