The Kill Artist by Daniel Silva

4.0

This is the first of the Gabriel Allon books and I have read it before, but years ago, and wanted to refresh myself before I read some of the latest books in the series. Gabriel Allon, like the Angel Gabriel, is an 'avenger' in the Biblical sense of the word. He is a highly trained assassin and also one of the world's foremost art restorers. He only wishes he could restore his wife, who is physically and mentally scarred in a bombing where she survived and their son didn't. This bombing was undertaken by Palestinian terrorist, Tariq. Gabriel now has the chance to seek revenge by killing Tariq in a top secret operation organised by his boss, Ari Shamron. I really enjoyed this book.
