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.

A truly great book with John Lee doing a fantastic job of narrating. Well written with totally unexpected twists and turns and a story that spans from 1942 to the present that brings together cultures, religions, the inner workings of the Church in Rome, politics, intrigue and mystery. Don't miss this one.

Daniel Silva wraps action advenure, mystery and recent history into an entertaining listen. His Israeli Mossad characters expose the horror of the Holocaust using fictional modern day events. The narration is reserved and sets an excellent tone for the theme.

I had a difficult time getting into the book. Not because of the story as much as the reader. I’ve never meet an Italian, in or out of the church, that spoke like Dracula. After awhile it just became comical than annoying.

Using historically accurate account of a tragic time in the history of Europe and the Catholic Church develops a wonderful mystery story. Narration is excellent, good character development, good twists and turns. Very detailed so it is a book that you need to listen to while not otherwise occupied.

I’ve listened to many of Silva’s novels in this series. Pretty much in random order. So it was great to finally understand this.

A great explanation of Gabriel Elon’s relationship with the Catholic Church
