About this listen

 Detective Gabriel Allon returns in this stunning thriller of ancient and modern betrayal, long-buried secrets and unthinkable deeds. In Munich, writer Benjamin Stern enters his flat to find a man leafing through his research. When Stern confronts him, the man shoots him, murmurs a few words in Latin, gathers the papers and leaves. In Venice, art restorer and Israeli agent Gabriel Allon reads a message saying that Stern is dead; can he leave immediately? At the Vatican, a priest named Pietro paces in the garden, pondering the discoveries he has made, the enemies he will make, and the journey he must undertake. Silva weaves these three threads into a multilayered mystery peopled with memorable characters and distinguished by rich prose.©2003 Daniel Silva (P)2003 Books on Tape, Inc.

What the critics say

“A shrewd, timely thriller that opens the heart of the Vatican.” (Chicago Tribune)

“Daniel Silva has now indisputably joined the ranks of Graham Greene and John Le Carré.” (The Washingtonian)

"Silva...writes with the atmospheric grace and whiplash tension of le Carre." (Booklist, starred review)

Great story line and the narrator's ability to imitate accents is very good. All in all a good experience.

Though respect the effort/research that must have gone into the book, I didn’t find it interesting or feel any real engagement with the characters. I have enjoyed other books by this author. Will try another.
