Overview: A Death in Cornwall by Daniel Silva is the latest installment in the bestselling Gabriel Allon series. This action-packed thriller blends art, espionage, and high-stakes mystery, keeping readers on the edge of their seats.
Plot Summary: Gabriel Allon, renowned art restorer and legendary spy, has quietly slipped into London to attend a reception at the Courtauld Gallery. The event celebrates the return of a stolen Vincent van Gogh self-portrait. However, his plans take a sharp turn when an old friend from the Devon and Cornwall Police seeks his help with a baffling murder investigation.
The victim, Charlotte Blake, is a celebrated Oxford art history professor who spends her weekends in a seaside village where Gabriel once lived under an assumed identity. Her murder appears to be the work of a serial killer terrorizing the Cornish countryside. However, inconsistencies, such as a missing mobile phone and a mysterious three-letter cypher left on a notepad, suggest otherwise.
Gabriel soon uncovers that Professor Blake was searching for a looted Picasso worth over $100 million. He takes up the chase for the painting, leveraging his unique skills and assembling a team of operatives, including a world-famous violinist, a master thief, and a contract killer turned British spy. The pursuit takes them from the cliffs of Cornwall to the island of Corsica and culminates in a breathtaking climax at 10 Downing Street.
