Publisher Description

Art restorer and sometime spy Gabriel Allon is sent to Vienna to authenticate a painting, but the real object of his search becomes something else entirely: to find out the truth about the photograph that has turned his world upside down. It is the face of the unnamed man who brutalized his mother in the last days of World War II, during the Death March from Auschwitz. But is it really the same one? If so, who is he? How did he escape punishment? Where is he now? Fueled by an intensity he has not felt in years, Allon cautiously begins to investigate, but the more layers he strips away, the greater the evil that is revealed, a web stretching across sixty years and thousands of lives. Soon, the quest for one monster becomes the quest for many. And the monsters are stirring . . . Filled with sharply etched characters and prose, and a plot of astonishing intricacy, this is an uncommonly intelligent thriller by one of our very best writers.

    " No one beats Daniel Silva when it comes to international espionage and intrigue. And for those who enjoy fiction based on actual events and real places, you will certainly enjoy Silva's trilogy: The Confessor, The Rembrandt Affair, and A Death in Vienna. "

    " My favorite of the Allon series so far. The story is well written covering lots of historical mysteries of the holocaust. Seemed like lots of character development, even for minor players but still a good read. "

    " This is not my normal go-to genre. I usually lean toward historical fiction and biographies, so maybe it was the historical elements of this novel that made it so interesting to me. The thriller/spy factor was amped up by the interesting Nazi/Jew history that was woven into the story. It was compelling. I realize that this book is part of a series, but it was the first Silva book I've read. I plan on reading more. "

    " Usually I don't read this kind of book, but I loved this one. I especially enjoyed the the Jewish/Israel content, but on the whole, really well written. "

    " Another good entry by Allon.....great story but a little more difficult to read as it dealt directly with the Holocaust. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " Allons continues his feats of derring do. The added psychological and historical shades the author puts into the novel propel it a notch above the competition. Addictive and fun to read, especially the continued assaults on the Austrians and Swiss bankers. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " A second Daniel Silva novel, in a row, that centers on the Holocaust...not exactly what I expected, the novel is a mix of depressing pages intermixed with moments of action and suspense, all leading to a rather anti-climactic conclusion. "

    " Daniel Silva is one of my favorite writers. A Death In Vienna is the last in a trilogy of the Gabriel Allon series dealing with the Holocaust along with The English Assassin and The Confessor. They were all not only suspenseful great reads, but interesting as well. "

    " Maybe I should have read the first two books of the trilogy, The Confessor and The English Assassin before I read this one. It was well written and absorbing but difficult to keep the characters straight. "

    " Another good read in the Gabriel Allon series. I am not sure how well this book would have read if the prior episodes were not read since I started with the first in the series. Silva's weaving of historical facts with his story provides an interesting depth and realism to the tale. "

    " Recommended by Candi, I love Daniel Silva's books. They have all been well written and weave in cities and countries that I visited. So it is an enriching way to be in Rome while not physically there! "

    " Nazi war criminals and holocaust novels are similar to the Crusades as a reminder of how horrible human nature can be......a precursor for today's terrorism. This novel was very well written and deserves its own merit. A logical ending rounds out a good story. "
