Gabriel Allon, art restorer and spy, has been widely acclaimed as one of the most fascinating characters in the genre, and now he is about to face the greatest challenge of his life. An al-Qaeda suspect is killed in London, and photographs are found on his computer that lead israeli intelligence to suspect that al-Qaeda is planning one of its most audacious attaacks ever, straight at the heart of the Vatican. Allon warns his old friend Monsignor Luigi Donati, the pope's private secretary, and rushes to Rome to assist in security, but what neither he nor Donati knows is that the Vatican has been thoroughly pentrated. An extrordinary enemy walks among them . . . and he's just getting started.
