Publisher's summary

Determined to sever his ties with the Office, Gabriel Allon has retreated to the windswept cliffs of Cornwall with his beautiful Venetian-born wife, Chiara. But once again his seclusion is interrupted by a visitor from his tangled past: the endearingly eccentric London art dealer Julian Isherwood. As usual, Isherwood has a problem. And it is one only Gabriel can solve.

In the ancient English city of Glastonbury, an art restorer has been brutally murdered and a long-lost portrait by Rembrandt mysteriously stolen. Despite his reluctance, Gabriel is persuaded to use his unique skills to search for the painting and those responsible for the crime. But as he painstakingly follows a trail of clues leading from Amsterdam to Buenos Aires and, finally, to a villa on the graceful shores of Lake Geneva, Gabriel discovers there are deadly secrets connected to the painting. And evil men behind them.

Before he is done, Gabriel will once again be drawn into a world he thought he had left behind forever, and will come face-to-face with a remarkable cast of characters: a glamorous London journalist who is determined to undo the worst mistake of her career, an elusive master art thief who is burdened by a conscience, and a powerful Swiss billionaire who is known for his good deeds but may just be behind one of the greatest threats facing the world.

Filled with remarkable twists and turns of plot, and told with seductive prose, The Rembrandt Affair is more than just summer entertainment of the highest order. It is a timely reminder that there are men in the world who will do anything for money.

Critic reviews

"The perfect book for fans of well-crafted thrillers ... the kind of page- turner that captures the reader from the opening chapter and doesn't let go." (Associated Press)

Riveting

Loved the story and the narration. The plot will not disappoint and is filled with edge of the seat suspense.

A Typical Allon Tale

As usual, Gabriel Allon leads us on an international chase full of twists, turns, interesting three-dimensional characters and true to life skullduggery
ripped from the headlines.

My only regret is that I chose the abridged edition which, though it accurately tells the tale, deprives the reader of some of the atmospherics Silva uses to provide the sights and sounds of the locales and the nuances of the players.

Read the unabridged version if you can.

ABRIDGED

My fault that I never noticed that I had downloaded the abridged version! I am sure I would have given the Unabridged version 5 stars as I love D Silva's stories.
