This morning Amazon delivered the latest installment in the Gabriel Allon spy novels by Daniel Silva, Moscow Rules. I am just a few chapters in, but already immersed back into the world of international intrigue against the backdrop of fascinating European settings. The Allon character is Israel's top assassin, who also happens to be one of the world's top art restorers, in the employ of the Vatican at the outset of this particular story. These Silva thrillers are enormously entertaining and I'm already enjoying settling in with this one over the course of the next few days.
