The bad thing about finding a series that you really like is waiting for the next book to come out. I waited impatiently for the arrival of this latest book in the Gabriel Allon series and, as soon as it arrived I devoured it. Now I am once again in a state of waiting for publication of the next book. The fallen angel of the title refers to a member of the Vatican staff who falls to her death from the gallery of the Basilica. The supposedly retired Mossad assassin, Allon, has returned to art restoration and is working for the Vatican when the death occurs. Charged with finding the killer by the Pope's secretary, Msgr. Donati, Allon abandons the Caravaggio painting he is restoring and sets out to discover the truth. But this is no simple murder. Once again Allon is pulled into the work of "The Office" and reassembles his old team who seem like old friends to the fans of the series. The story goes from a murder mystery to one of money laundering, terrorism, and a plot that could destroy Israel and kill thousands of people. Once again, Silva has written a finely crafted thriller with enough twists to keep the reader riveted. Please hurry and finish the next book, Mr. Silva.
