Synopsis "The English Assassin (Gabriel Allon) "

Spy turned art restorer Gabriel Allon finds himself accused of murder in this New York Times bestseller from Daniel Silva.An Israeli spy by trade and art restorer by preference, Gabriel Allon arrives in Zurich to restore the work of an Old Master for a millionaire banker--and finds himself standing in blood and framed for the man's murder. While trying to clear his name, Allon is swept into a spiraling chain of events involving Nazi art theft, a decades-old suicide, and a dark and bloody trail of killings--some of them his own. The spy world Allon thought he had left behind has come back to haunt him. And he will have to fight for his life--against an assassin he himself helped train.

This experience deeply marked his worldview and literary approach

In 1997, Silva published his first novel, The Unlikely Spy, which received excellent reviews and marked the beginning of a prolific literary career. However, it was with The Confessor (2003) and the creation of his iconic character Gabriel Allon, an Israeli art restorer and spy, that he achieved international success. Allon became the protagonist of a series of more than 20 novels, including acclaimed works like The English Assassin (2002), The New Girl (2019), and The Order (2020)
