returns with the year's most anticipated new thriller. 'Allon is the 21st century Bond' - DAILY
MAIL Art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon has slipped quietly into London to attend a
reception at the Courtauld Gallery celebrating the return of a stolen self-portrait by Vincent
van Gogh. But when an old friend from the Devon and Cornwall Police seeks his help with a
baffling murder investigation he finds himself pursuing a powerful and dangerous new
adversary. The victim is Charlotte Blake a celebrated professor of art history from Oxford who
spends her weekends in the same seaside village where Gabriel once lived under an assumed
identity. Her murder appears to be the work of a diabolical serial killer who has been
terrorizing the Cornish countryside. But there are a number of telltale inconsistencies
including a missing mobile phone. And then there is the mysterious three-letter cypher she left
behind on a notepad in her study. Gabriel soon discovers that Professor Blake was searching for
a looted Picasso worth more than a $100 million and he takes up the chase for the painting as
only he can - with six Impressionist canvases forged by his own hand and an unlikely team of
operatives that includes a world-famous violinist a beautiful master thief and a lethal
contract killer turned British spy. The result is a stylish and wildly entertaining mystery
that moves at lightning speed from the cliffs of Cornwall to the enchanted island of Corsica
and finally to a breathtaking climax on the very doorstep of 10 Downing Street. Supremely
elegant and suspenseful A Death in Cornwall is Daniel Silva at his best - a dazzling tale of
murder power and insatiable greed that will hold readers spellbound until they turn the final
