Gabriel Allon -- master art restorer and international assassin. A reclusive man with a deep appreciation for all that is beautiful, he is also an angel of vengeance, solid and unyielding, who will go anywhere in the hunt for terrorists, criminals, and killers, and stop at nothing to see justice done. For Gabriel and his wife, it was supposed to be the start of a pleasant weekend in London. But a pair of deadly bombings in Paris and Hamburg has already marred this sparkling autumn day. And while walking along Wellington Street, the ever-vigilant Gabriel notices a man whom he believes is about to carry out a third attack. But before Gabriel can intervene, he is knocked to the pavement by two undercover London police officers. A moment later he looks up to find a scene from his nightmares. Bodies and blood, Baghdad on the Thames. Haunted by his failure to prevent the attack, Gabriel returns to his isolated cottage on the Cornish coast. But when a summons arrives from the CIA, he is drawn once more into the world he thought he had left behind.

A Worthy Addition submitted by GJBarnett2 on August 15, 2011, 9:33pm A worthy addition to Daniel Silva's series about Israeli agent/art restoration expert Gabriel Allon's war on terrorism. A page-turner, hard to put down. Those just discovering Silva should read the series in the order of publication.

exciting submitted by unknown on August 22, 2011, 6:18am Portrait of a Spy is one of Silva's best in his series. The insight into the money trail of the Middle East terrorists is most interesting. I didn't want to put it down....actually I didn't want it to end
