A riveting account picks up the passionate search by art restorer/Mossad agent Gabriel Allon for a perpetrator of unspeakable horrors in the Nazi death camps. Plot twists, hairbreadth escapes, and moments of terror abound. In this third and final book in a trilogy (THE CONFESSOR, THE ENGLISH ASSASSIN), Allon's search becomes highly personal as it is intricately interwoven with a love story. Silva's characters are well served by narrator Tony Goldwyn, who deftly delivers various foreign accents, transcending one narrative voice. An especially attractive package is an added bonus. L.C.

Art restorer Gabriel Allon returns to service as an Israeli Secret Service agent. His assignment is to track down an assassin in Vienna. Sidetracked by a photograph of a Nazi war criminal, Allon realizes his current mission may be intertwined with his mother's Holocaust experiences and personal memories. The novel is a heart-stopping mix of political double-dealing, danger, and intrigue. Accomplished reader Lee's rich narration flows seamlessly between numerous characters. His wide range of accents encompasses those of patrician Swiss bankers, sniveling Nazis, elderly Holocaust survivors, and more. A complex and compelling novel; series fans will be pleased with the audio. Copyright 2019 Booklist Reviews.
