The Gabriel Allon series
Daniel Silva · 2018 · 384 pages
Tightly written thrillers like The Marching Season have made bestselling novelist Daniel Silva a favorite of readers everywhere. In The Kill Artist, he paints an absorbing portrait of a reluctant hero’s attempt to thwart an old enemy to preserve a precarious peace. After the assassination of his wife and son, Gabriel Allon retires from his brutal anti-terrorist career and loses himself in his previous cover job: art restoration. But when Tariq al-Hourani, the Palestinian terrorist responsible for his family’s death, begins a killing spree designed to destroy Middle East peace talks, Gabriel once again slips into the shadowy world of international intrigue.
In a global game of hide-and-seek, the motives of Gabriel and Tariq soon become more personal than political. Filled with vivid action and a fascinating cast of supporting characters, The Kill Artist delivers pulse-pounding suspense, carried to a startling climax by the tension-packed narration of George Guidall.

James Ellroy
“I’ve read 19 of Mr. Silva’s books in the past six months, so the plots have melded together, but their great and timely theme is the defense of the West. The protagonist, Gabriel Allon, is an Old Master restorer and Mossad hitman. When he’s not bumping off radical Islamists and IRA gunmen, he’s tracking down Nazi plunder or saving the pope.”↗
