Description
In Amalfi, in the villa of a murdered South African shipowner, the carabinieri have discovered a secret treasure trove containing a frame and stretcher measuring the same size as the most valuable missing painting in the world. General Ferrari, commander of the Art Brigade, asks legendary spy and art restorer Gabriel Allon to discreetly find the painting while the trail is warm. At issue is Johannes Vermeer's ‘Concerto’, stolen in 1990 from a Boston museum. With the help of an unusual ally - a beautiful Danish hacker and thief - Gabriel quickly establishes that the painting has changed hands as part of a multi-billion dollar illegal deal. And that a man code-named The Collector, an oil magnate with close ties to the highest circles of power in Russia, is behind the affair. The lost masterpiece is the foundation of a conspiracy whose success would plunge the world into a conflict with catastrophic consequences. To thwart it, Gabriel must take a bold step, knowing that millions of lives are at stake. Full of twists and turns and unforgettable characters, The Collector quickly takes us from the glamorous canals of Venice to the windy coast of northern Denmark, to CIA headquarters in Langley and finally to Russia, where the passionate finale is as timely as the current headlines.
