Once a key operative in secret Israeli-intelligence missions, Gabriel Allon is on the run from his past, assuming a quiet life as a meticulous restorer of priceless works of art. But now he is being called back into the game. The agent with whom he is teamed hides behind her own beautiful mask–as a French fashion model. Their target: a cunning terrorist on one last killing spree, a Palestinian zealot named Tariq who played a dark part in Gabriel’s past. What begins as a manhunt turns into a globe-spanning duel fueled by political intrigue and deep personal passions. In a world where secrecy and duplicity are absolute, revenge is a luxury no man can afford–and the greatest masterpiece of all.

"I've identified another multiple volume series to continue. The Kill Artist is the first in a series of Gabriel Allon suspense thrillers. Gabriel's cover job is that of an art restorer. So there are multiple worlds: Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the art world, multiple national intelligence systems. Plus spies and counter spies." — Phyllis (4 out of 5 stars)

" Terrific thriller, set in the conflict between Israeli and Palestinian spies and assassins. Had me on the edge of my seat right to the end. "
" Timely and thrilling as usual, so far. I've liked this author sinc reading " The Rembrandt Affair" and he hasn't disappointed yet. "
" Your basic spy vs. terrorist novel but with some added character development that I hope will continue as the series goes along. "
" Book Club selection. Good read, interesting story. Want to read more. "
" Gabriel Allon. Warrior, Artist, avenger of the Munich Olympics Massacre, rescuer of Presidents, Kings, and the occasional beautiful woman. What could be better? "
" Airplane book. "
" The reviews for this book were not as glowing as those for later books in the series, but I still figured I should read the first book first. If the other books are better than The Kill Artist, I'm excited to have found a new series! "

" I traveled the world with this one. Visited places I had to look up. "
" The beginning of the Gabriel Allon novels, explaining why the former Israeli secret service agent left the service to become an art restorer in Europe and how he got talked into returning to the service for "one last job." Allon is a sympathetic, intelligent character. "

" Good exciting spy novel. I like his character Gabriel Allon. Look forward to reading more about him. "

" I have read Most of Daniel Silva books ,and this being the first, they do seem to get better and better. Cant wait for his new one. "
" Gabriel Allon is half James Bond, half Jack Bauer, but he isn't nearly as cool as either. He works as an undercover Israeli intelligence officer with a troubled past. The action is fast-paced and the plot is interesting. I'm going to move right on the next book in the series. "
" Good suspense, good read. I'll definitely read the others in this series. "
