I found this novel in a 2nd hand bookshop in Recto way back 2001. It was Daniel Silva's Gabriel Allon novel. I have never heard of Daniel Silva before that so I was not quite sure if buying the book is worth it, but after a few minutes, I bought the book anyway. And boy was I so happy that I actually bought the book. The story is great and Silva paints the picture in vivid colors. I could say that Daniel Silva is the Rembrandt of Israeli Spy fiction. No one does it better.
At first I though that The Kill Artist is dead end; that Gabriel Allon is a one time only offering, but boy was I wrong. gabriel Allon became such a franchise that the string of #1 New York Times Bestseller followed.
This is how Gabriel Allon started...
Description
Once a key operative in secret Israeli-intelligence missions, Gabriel Allon is on the run from his past, assuming a quiet life as a meticulous restorer of priceless works of art. But now he is being called back into the game. The agent with whom he is teamed hides behind her own beautiful mask-as a French fashion model. Their target: a cunning terrorist on one last killing spree, a Palestinian zealot named Tariq who played a dark part in Gabriel's past. What begins as a manhunt turns into a globe-spanning duel fueled by political intrigue and deep personal passions. In a world where secrecy and duplicity are absolute, revenge is a luxury no man can afford-and the greatest masterpiece of all. danielsilvabooks
