Book description
Daniel Silva's latest entry into the Gabriel Allon saga, An Inside Job, delivers the razor-sharp blend of art history, high-stakes espionage, and moral complexity that has become his trademark. The novel opens with Allon-part curator, part covert operative-tasked with restoring a long-lost Leonardo da Vinci portrait in Venice. When the painting vanishes during a suspicious blackout, Allon is thrust into a frantic chase that spirals from the glittering galleries of London to an opulent enclave on the French Riviera, and ultimately culminates in St. Peter's Square where the fate of a papal election hangs in the balance.
Silva's prose is unflinching yet elegant; he never lets the pace falter, keeping readers glued as each clue surfaces and each suspect reveals deeper layers of corruption. The narrative is peppered with vivid descriptions of Renaissance art, Vatican finances, and the underbelly of organized crime-elements that feel both authentic and thrilling. What sets this book apart is its exploration of identity: the nameless woman found in Venice's lagoon, the anonymous artist whose work conceals a masterpiece, and Allon himself, who must reconcile his love for art with his duty to protect it.
Critics have lauded Silva as "the reigning master of international intrigue," and An Inside Job lives up to that praise. The stakes are high, the characters well-drawn, and the resolution-both satisfying and thought-provoking-is delivered with the deftness only a seasoned thriller writer can achieve. If you're a fan of Gabriel Allon or simply crave a page-turner that marries cultural treasure with global conspiracy, this book will keep you turning pages long after the final chapter ends.
