The Kill Artist by Daniel Silva 428 pp.
I'm definitely hooked on this series about art restorer/Israeli agent, Gabriel Allon. In this episode, Gabriel has been called away from a major art restoration job and back into service to assassinate the Palestinian assassin responsible for the car bombing that killed his family. As part of the assignment, former agent & French model, Jacqueline, has also been recalled to duty with her former lover, Allon. What is intriguing and heartwrenching in this book is the backstory of character including the horrendous deaths of their family members whether at the hands of Nazis, terrorists, or the Israeli secret service.Even though it is fiction, it gives view of the Middle East conflicts from different viewpoints and shows that all sides are victims and perpetrators of the violence.
