An Inside Job

A Novel

De: Daniel Silva

Narrado por: Edoardo Ballerini

Art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon must solve the perfect crime in the dazzling new tale of murder, greed, and corruption from #1 New York Times bestselling novelist Daniel Silva.

"Daniel Silva spins a yarn better than any living author and I appreciated the chance to disappear into a great book, if only for a single night (there is no stopping a Silva book once I've begun)." —Todd Wilkins, Best Thriller Books

Sometimes the only way to recover a stolen masterpiece is to steal it back . . .

Gabriel Allon has been awarded a commission to restore one of the most important paintings in Venice. But when he discovers the body of a mysterious woman floating in the waters of the Venetian Lagoon, he finds himself in a desperate race to recover a lost masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci.

The painting, a portrait of a beautiful young girl, has been gathering dust in a storeroom at the Vatican Museums for more than a century, misattributed and hidden beneath a worthless picture by an unknown artist. Because no one knows that the Leonardo is there, no one notices when it disappears one night during a suspicious power outage. No one but the ruthless mobsters and moneymen behind the theft -- and the mysterious woman whom Gabriel found in a watery grave in Venice. A woman without a name. A woman without a face.

The action moves at breakneck speed from the galleries and auction houses of London to an enclave of unimaginable wealth on the French Riviera -- and, finally, to a shocking climax in St. Peter's Square, where the life of a pope hangs in the balance. An elegant and stylish journey through the dark side of the art world and the Vatican's murky finances, An Inside Job proves once again that Daniel Silva is the reigning master of international intrigue and suspense.

Always a wonderful tour de force!!!

Daniel Silva’s books are a pleasure I wait for, every summer, and I’m never disappointed! I generally read his books but being on a trip, I missed publication day and got the book on Audible. Edoardo Ballerini does a wonderful job narrating, and he brings AN INSIDE JOB to life, beautifully! Gabriel Allon, my favorite action/spy/art restorer/father of twins hero, discovers the corpse of an unknown woman in one of Venice’s (Italy) canals, which takes him, and us, to a fascinating journey into the corrupt side of the art world, an the Vatican. I loved listening to this book! And when I get home, I’ll read the hardcover that’s waiting for me. Yes, what can I say? I’m a big fan!

One of the best!

Definitely one of the best of Silva’s novels. The story is compelling, learned, and keeps you on your toes every step of the way. Loved learning a bit of Da Vinci history.

Great storyline with nothing regarding Mossad

I wish I had that skill, but this novel was far better than the one done last year

The story is great!!!

can't think of anything I love this series by Daniel Silva I've read or listened to all of them!!!

Another Silva Triumph

Great storyline of Vatican intrigue interwoven with the art world. Probably my favorite Silva novel.

Another Gabriel Alon

The continuing story of Gabriel except for his separation from Israel. Gabriel after all was the core of the Mossad.
