A Death in Cornwall

Bestselling author Daniel Silva presents another gripping thriller in this intense tale of international intrigue.

A brutal murder, a missing masterpiece, and a mystery only Gabriel Allon can unravel...

Gabriel Allon, renowned art restorer and legendary spy, arrives quietly in London to attend a reception at the Courtauld Gallery, celebrating the recovery of a stolen Vincent van Gogh self-portrait. However, when an old friend from the Devon and Cornwall Police requests his assistance with a perplexing murder case, Gabriel finds himself facing a formidable new enemy.

The victim, Charlotte Blake, a distinguished Oxford art history professor, was murdered in the seaside village where Gabriel once lived under a false identity. Her death seems to be the work of a notorious serial killer haunting the Cornish countryside, but several inconsistencies emerge, including a missing mobile phone and a cryptic three-letter cipher left in her study.

As Gabriel delves deeper, he uncovers that Professor Blake was in search of a stolen Picasso valued at over $100 million. He takes on the quest for the painting with a unique team of operatives, including a world-famous violinist, a stunning master thief, and a deadly contract killer turned British spy. This sophisticated and thrilling mystery races from the rugged cliffs of Cornwall to the magical island of Corsica, culminating in a breathtaking showdown at 10 Downing Street.

Elegant and suspenseful, A Death in Cornwall showcases Daniel Silva at his finest—a captivating story of murder, power, and relentless greed that will keep readers enthralled until the very last page.
