Funk Rating: 10 out of 10
Silva and his character Gabriel Allon are back in a new thriller that is simply fabulous. As the ultimate avenging angel with an exaggerated sense of right and wrong, Gabriel is spectacular. This is a book that unwinds itself with perfect pacing and with excellent plot development. Silva starts you off on a journey that begins with a stolen painting and a murder; over time he links it to the Holocaust and turns it into an international thriller.
There are few writers today that I think can balance pacing, dialog, characters, and a storyline that works. Silva is in that elite crowd and deserves every accolade available to NYT bestselling author. I heartily recommend this one!
