Description
Gabriel Allon, a renowned art restorer and spy, is drawn into a high-stakes game of international intrigue when a shocking discovery is made in the Amalfi villa of a murdered South African shipping tycoon. A secret vault containing an empty frame and stretcher matching the dimensions of the world's most valuable missing painting has been uncovered. The painting, The Concert by Johannes Vermeer, one of thirteen works stolen from Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1990, is now at the centre of a billion-dollar business deal involving a mysterious figure known as the Collector. As Gabriel delves deeper into the conspiracy, he must navigate a complex web of deceit and betrayal to prevent a catastrophic conflict from unfolding. With the help of an unlikely ally, a brilliant Danish computer hacker and professional thief, Gabriel embarks on a daring heist to foil the plot and save millions of lives. With the stakes higher than ever, Gabriel Allon must use all his skills and experience to stay one step ahead of the enemy and uncover the truth behind the missing masterpiece.
