About this item
In A Death in Cornwall, #1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva presents another riveting installment in his acclaimed series featuring art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon. This thrilling narrative combines high-stakes international intrigue with a gripping murder mystery.
The story begins with Allon in London, attending a reception at the Courtauld Gallery for the return of a stolen Vincent van Gogh self-portrait. However, his visit takes a dramatic turn when an old friend from the Devon and Cornwall Police seeks his assistance with a perplexing murder case. The victim is Professor Charlotte Blake, a renowned Oxford art historian who had been investigating a string of grisly murders in the Cornish countryside, believed to be the work of a cunning serial killer.
Inconsistencies in the case, such as a missing mobile phone and a cryptic three-letter cipher found at the crime scene, prompt Allon to delve deeper. His investigation reveals that Blake was also on the trail of a stolen Picasso valued at over $100 million. To unravel the mystery, Allon assembles an extraordinary team, including a world-famous violinist, a master thief, and a former contract killer now working as a British spy.
From the dramatic cliffs of Cornwall to the enchanting island of Corsica, and culminating in a breathtaking climax at 10 Downing Street, A Death in Cornwall delivers a stylish and fast-paced adventure. Silva’s narrative is both supremely elegant and suspenseful, weaving a dazzling tale of murder, power, and greed that will captivate readers until the very last page.
