THE COLLECTOR - DANIEL SILVA KARTONIERT (TB)

#1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva delivers another stunning thriller in his
action-packed tale of high stakes international intrigue. On the morning after the Venice
Preservation Society's annual black-tie gala  art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon
enters his favorite coffee bar on the island of Murano to find General Cesare Ferrari  the
commander of the Art Squad  eagerly awaiting his arrival. The Carabinieri have made a startling
discovery 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. General Ferrari asks Gabriel to quietly track down the artwork before the
trail goes cold.  "Isn't that your job?"   "Finding stolen paintings? Technically speaking 
yes. But you're much better at it than we are." The painting in question is The Concert by
Johannes Vermeer  one of thirteen works of art stolen from Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner
Museum in 1990. With the help of a most unlikely ally  a beautiful Danish computer hacker and
professional thief  Gabriel soon discovers that the painting has changed hands as part of an
illicit billion-dollar business deal involving a man code-named the Collector  an energy
executive with close ties to the highest levels of Russian power. The missing masterpiece is
the lynchpin of a conspiracy that if successful  could plunge the world into a conflict of
apocalyptic proportions. To foil the plot  Gabriel must carry out a daring heist of his own 
with millions of lives hanging in the balance.
