When was the book published: 2010
Main Characters: Gabriel Allon, Israeli spy and master art forger, Zoe Reed, journalist recruited by the spies, Julian Isherwood, art dealer, Lena Herzfeld, holocaust survivor saved in exchange for the Rembrandt Martin Landesman, great businessman and philanthropist in Israel whose fortune was founded from ill gotten war gains.
What happens? Gabriel and Chiara are recuperating from their last mission when he gets recruited because a Rembrandt has been stolen. It turns out that the painting has evidence of how the nazis stole money from the jews including lena herzfeld's family. The spy agencies recruit Zoe Reed to bug Martin (as she is in love with him) and then later to bring one of their agents into a monster party at his estate.
How long was this? 484 pages
Did I like this? yes, this is a good spy story with good guys, bad guys, characters, and Nazis. He writes well, and keeps it moving. You don't get too deep into the characters, but enough to make it work.
Overall grade: A-
