The English Assassin
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.
