Summary
#1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva delivers another stunning thriller in his action-packed tale of high stakes international intrigue.

A brutal murder, a missing masterpiece, a mystery only Gabriel Allon can solve . . .

Art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon has slipped quietly into London to attend a reception at the Courtauld Gallery celebrating the return of a stolen self-portrait by Vincent van Gogh. But when an old friend from the Devon and Cornwall Police seeks his help with a baffling murder investigation, he finds himself pursuing a powerful and dangerous new adversary.

The victim is Charlotte Blake, a celebrated professor of art history from Oxford who spends her weekends in the same seaside village where Gabriel once lived under an assumed identity. Her murder appears to be the work of a diabolical serial killer who has been terrorizing the Cornish countryside. But there are a number of telltale inconsistencies, including a missing mobile phone. And then there is the mysterious three-letter cypher she left behind on a notepad in her study.

Gabriel soon discovers that Professor Blake was searching for a looted Picasso worth more than a $100 million, and he takes up the chase for the painting as only he can—with six Impressionist canvases forged by his own hand and an unlikely team of operatives that includes a world-famous violinist, a beautiful master thief, and a lethal contract killer turned British spy. The result is a stylish and wildly entertaining mystery that moves at lightning speed from the cliffs of Cornwall to the enchanted island of Corsica and, finally, to a breathtaking climax on the very doorstep of 10 Downing Street.

Supremely elegant and suspenseful, A Death in Cornwall is Daniel Silva at his best—a dazzling tale of murder, power, and insatiable greed that will hold readers spellbound until they turn the final page.

Daniel Silva's series of Gabriel Allon novels are quite simply the best, most entertaining and most engaging books. Great characters, whom you meet over and over again and love them just as much each time. Great stories - never predictable in just how they will turn out. Most people have favorite movies that they can watch muliple times and enjoy them each time. We do the same with the Daniel Silva's Gabrieal Allon series - come back every other year or so to listen to all the books for a second and third time. A Death in Cornwall is just as good as all the others. Please God. Keep Daniel Silva writing for the rest of my life.

The author’s notes at the end should not be skipped over - very provoking.

Plot became convoluted at times. Otherwise it was enjoyable to listen to. Excellent narration. Author's recent books have been about the private Art World. Hopefully his next Book will have another subject matter.

I’ve read all the books in this series, and this was a huge disappointment. Once interesting characters have become tedious, writing is choppy, and plot boring.
