El restaurador de arte y legendario espía Gabriel Allon debe resolver el crimen perfecto en la impactante nueva historia de asesinatos, codicia y corrupción del novelista bestseller del New York Times, Daniel Silva.

«Daniel Silva teje una trama mejor que cualquier otro autor vivo, y agradezco la oportunidad de sumergirme en un gran libro, aunque solo sea por una noche (una vez que empiezo un libro de Silva, no puedo dejarlo)». —Todd Wilkins, Best Thriller Books

A veces, la única forma de recuperar una obra maestra robada es volver a robarla...

Gabriel Allon ha recibido el encargo de restaurar uno de los cuadros más importantes de Venecia. Pero cuando descubre el cadáver de una misteriosa mujer flotando en las aguas de la laguna veneciana, se ve envuelto en una carrera desesperada para recuperar una obra maestra perdida de Leonardo da Vinci.

El cuadro, un retrato de una hermosa joven, ha estado acumulando polvo en un almacén de los Museos Vaticanos durante más de un siglo, atribuido erróneamente y oculto bajo un cuadro sin valor de un artista desconocido. Como nadie sabe que el Leonardo está allí, nadie se da cuenta cuando desaparece una noche durante un sospechoso apagón. Nadie, excepto los despiadados mafiosos y hombres de negocios que están detrás del robo, y la misteriosa mujer que Gabriel encontró en una tumba acuática en Venecia. Una mujer sin nombre. Una mujer sin rostro.

La acción se desarrolla a una velocidad vertiginosa desde las galerías y casas de subastas de Londres hasta un enclave de riqueza inimaginable en la Costa Azul francesa y, finalmente, hasta un impactante clímax en la Plaza de San Pedro, donde la vida de un papa pende de un hilo. Un elegante y sofisticado viaje por el lado oscuro del mundo del arte y las turbias finanzas del Vaticano, esta novela demuestra una vez más que Daniel Silva es el maestro indiscutible de la intriga y el suspense internacionales.

Art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon must solve the perfect crime in the dazzling new tale of murder, greed, and corruption from #1 New York Times bestselling novelist Daniel Silva.

""Daniel Silva spins a yarn better than any living author and I appreciated the chance to disappear into a great book, if only for a single night (there is no stopping a Silva book once I've begun). --Todd Wilkins, Best Thriller Books

Sometimes the only way to recover a stolen masterpiece is to steal it back . . .

Gabriel Allon has been awarded a commission to restore one of the most important paintings in Venice. But when he discovers the body of a mysterious woman floating in the waters of the Venetian Lagoon, he finds himself in a desperate race to recover a lost masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci.

The painting, a portrait of a beautiful young girl, has been gathering dust in a storeroom at the Vatican Museums for more than a century, misattributed and hidden beneath a worthless picture by an unknown artist. Because no one knows that the Leonardo is there, no one notices when it disappears one night during a suspicious power outage. No one but the ruthless mobsters and moneymen behind the theft -- and the mysterious woman whom Gabriel found in a watery grave in Venice. A woman without a name. A woman without a face.

The action moves at breakneck speed from the galleries and auction houses of London to an enclave of unimaginable wealth on the French Riviera -- and, finally, to a shocking climax in St. Peter's Square, where the life of a pope hangs in the balance. An elegant and stylish journey through the dark side of the art world and the Vatican's murky finances, An Inside Job proves once again that Daniel Silva is the reigning master of international intrigue.
