Silva, Daniel Portrait
of a Spy
This is an early Silva from 2001. It’s a paperback and can
be found in the 3rd floor Grand Living library. Gabriel Allon, master Israeli spy, is trying to concentrate on his art restoration skills when bombings in major
European cities threaten the Western alliances and the Arab world. After a
close call in London’s Covent Garden, he comes up with a master plan that unites
the intelligence services of the Brits, Israelis, and Americans. It
involves recruiting a Middle Eastern woman whose father was assassinated by
Allon when the woman was a young girl, but who may be able to approach the evil
mastermind behind the bombs. There are several levels of deception in several
different countries. It is fast moving and gripping right up to the violent
ending.
