For Gabriel Allon it was supposed to be the start of a pleasant weekend in London – a visit to a gallery in St. James's to authenticate a newly discovered painting by Titian. But a pair of deadly bombings in Paris and Copenhagen has already marred this autumn day. And then Gabriel notices a man he believes is about to carry out a third attack, but can only watch as the nightmare unfolds. Haunted by his failure to stop the massacre of innocents, Gabriel returns to his cottage in Cornwall, until a summons brings him to Washington and he is drawn into a confrontation with the new face of global terror.

      Gabriel Allon, Israeli mastermind and art restorer, is a master of disguises, and his "vocal portrait" has been attempted by numerous narrators. Simon Vance takes on the task here in Allon's eleventh caper as a globe-trotting modern spy. Yet Allon is illusive, and Vance doesn't quite nail it. Could it be that Allon is such a complex changeling that even the highly skilled and perceptive Vance doesn't quite inhabit him? Can anyone? Fans of the series, or newcomers, will mind little as Allon and his compatriots outwit terrorists, and their espionage "partners." Very dull, slightly muffled sound mars Vance's usual crisp speech and makes his subtleties hard to hear. The definitive portrait of this spy is yet unpainted. R.F.W.
