A death in Vienna

Silva, Daniel 1960- (Author). Goldwyn, Tony. (Added Author).

Summary: Sent to Vienna to authenticate a painting, the art restorer and sometime spy Gabriel Allon is sidetracked by a photograph that throws his world upside-down. Could it really be the face of a man who during the last days of World War II had brutalized his mother on the Death March from Auschwitz? Questions abound when Allon, driven by an intensity he had not felt in years, begins to investigate, discovering in the process that the hunt for one man is a hunt for many-and a network of unimaginable evil spanning sixty years.

    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.
