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.

Please note: This is the abridged edition. An unabridged version is also available.

I Enjoyed this audible book very much but then I enjoy all of his books

Very good story

This could have been a much more taut and interesting novel but for one of the worst narrators I’ve encountered. Monotone, droning for much of the story. Very disappointing.

Horrible Narrator

Great start, great build up, average finish at best. I had the same feeling with the first book. Too bad, was hoping for better…..

Same as the first book

Slow but creative story. Narrator was slow and sleepy. Weak accents and Israeli main character had none. Would recommend story but not narrator.

This is the 4th Daniel Silva novel of the Israeli spy Gabriel Allon that I have read or listened, and all are thrilling entertainments. This time an old friend and espionage colleague of Allon’s is murdered because he has acquired damning evidence about the Vatican’s role in the Holocaust. Allon hunts the murderer, and in the process uncovers dark secrets of the Vatican. The story is somewhat unbelievable, but very entertaining nonetheless. If you want a page-turning thriller with lots of action, this is a good choice. Arlie’s Howard is one of my favorite narrators.
