Auguste Rolfe ist ein angesehener Schweizer Bankier und Kunstsammler. Aber es gibt etwas in seiner Vergangenheit, das ihn zutiefst belastet. Eines Tages liegt er tot in seiner Wohnung. Als Ex-Geheimagent Gabriel Allon ihn findet, weiß er, dass er nicht der einzige ist, der Rolfes Tarnung gelüftet hat, und dass nun sein eigenes Leben auf dem Spiel steht ...

Klappentext:
Spy turned art restorer Gabriel Allon finds himself accused of murder in this New York Times bestseller from Daniel Silva.
An Israeli spy by trade and art restorer by preference, Gabriel Allon arrives in Zurich to restore the work of an Old Master for a millionaire banker and finds himself standing in blood and framed for the man s murder.
While trying to clear his name, Allon is swept into a spiraling chain of events involving Nazi art theft, a decades-old suicide, and a dark and bloody trail of killings some of them his own. The spy world Allon thought he had left behind has come back to haunt him. And he will have to fight for his life against an assassin he himself helped train.
