About this listen
Master of international intrigue Daniel Silva, the number one New York Times best-selling author, comes an explosive new thriller featuring art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon.
The most beautiful music hides the deadliest secrets....
Viktor Orlov had a longstanding appointment with death. Once Russia's richest man, he now resides in exile in London, where he is waging a crusade against the kleptocrats who have seized control of the Kremlin. His mansion is protected by armed bodyguards. Yet somehow, on a rainy summer evening, in the midst of a global pandemic, Russia's vengeful president finally manages to cross Orlov's name off his kill list.
Before him was the receiver from his landline telephone, a half-drunk glass of red wine, and a stack of documents....
The documents are contaminated with a deadly nerve agent. The Metropolitan Police determine that they were delivered by one of Orlov's employees, a prominent investigative reporter. And when the reporter vanishes hours after the killing, MI6 concludes she is a Moscow Center assassin who penetrated the billionaire's formidable defenses. But Gabriel Allon believes his friends in British intelligence are dangerously mistaken. His search for the truth will take him to Geneva, where a private intelligence service is plotting an act of violence that will plunge an already divided America into chaos. Only Allon, with the help of a brilliant young woman employed by the world's dirtiest bank, can stop it....

the only thing I didn't like was the shameless namedropping of brands who had bought advertising the book. After the 5th time I heard BMW X5, in a few lines, i was over it. I get you have to sell sponsorship and everyone does it, but don't be crass with it
A clever spy thriller with greed and politics

On one hand he says that his characters are his creation but on other hand, at the end of the book he writes a lot of Donald Trump sins. It is almost like listening to CNN. I think this book won't aged well.
I did not like how this book was read, it sounded more like staccato. George Guildall was much better.
I would like to return this book but it looks that it is not an option.
Waste of time and money
