Pages: 480

Genre: Fiction

Grade: B

Synopsis: Gabriel is working in the Italian hills to restore a Renaissance painting for the Vatican when a Russian defector, who had saved his life in Moscow, was abducted and disappeared from London.  The British just assume that he was working as a double agent, but Gabriel doesn't believe it for a second and gathers his team to try and save his friend.

My Review: I don't usually care for spy novels, but this one was alright.  Apparently it is the 9th book in a series, but it stands on its own fairly well.  Maybe now I'll have to start reading some of the other books in the series.
