The Fallen Angel, Daniel Silva, 2012
The latest adventure story featuring Gabriel Allon, Israeli art restorer, “retired” Mossad agent, and personal friend of the Pope. Allon interrupts his restoration of a Caravaggio at the Vatican to stop a Hezbollah plot to blow up the Dome of the Rock and start a Middle East War. Fast paced and well done, though with a decidely right wing Israeli bent. I will, no doubt, read more.
