BOW: A Death in Vienna

A Death in Vienna by Daniel Silva


Silva is the author of the Gabriel Allon Series, an ongoing saga following the life of Mario Delvecchio, a world renowned art restorer. However, those inside the "office" know that art restoration is simply a hobby and refer to this man as Gabriel Allon: chief assassin and protege to a secret Israeli intelligence agency. Working under the direction of Ari Shamron, Allon travels most of Europe and around the rest of the world to solve the world's most famous hidden secrets. A Death in Vienna sheds light onto one of history's darkest moments: the Holocaust. Hidden amongst testimonies, American CIA papers, and fake passports, the truths regarding the Death March from Nazi war camps are revealed in this emotional and suspenseful novel. Allon's goal in exposing the world to one of history's most serious wartime criminals, Erich Radek, is to gain the truth that he is so desperately trying to find for those who were lost.
