Gabriel Allon, top notch art restorer and part time Israeli Intelligence operative, has been drawn into the hunt for a Palestinian terrorist. But, the real question is who will cause more damage to Allon: the terrorist, the beautiful agent he must work with or the Israeli Intelligence community itself?
As a character study, The Kill Artist, is fascinating. Allon is intriguing, as a spy should be, and his cool, calculating exterior hides a more intricate man. On the other hand, the plot lacked suspense and action, especially for a spy novel, but the overall effect was stimulating, and Gabriel Allon is a character worth further study.
Definitely an adult book with adult language and situations, Silva's first novel in the Allon series was a New York Times Bestseller.
