A body in the Venetian lagoon leads a spy-turned-art-restorer to a stolen Leonardo, Vatican money and the very rich people who think they own everything.
Our take
A stolen Leonardo, a body in the lagoon, Venice
Gabriel Allon, the art restorer who used to run a spy service, finds a dead woman in the Venetian lagoon and ends up chasing a lost Leonardo that vanished from a Vatican storeroom. Readers love the art-world texture here: forgery, pentimenti, auction-house money and Vatican finances, all moving from Venice to the Riviera to St. Peter's Square. It's a heist story more than an espionage one, and some longtime fans miss the geopolitics. We picked it for readers who want a polished, escapist caper with real expertise behind it, and at this price it's an easy way to see why Silva has 25 of these.
