The Rembrandt Affair by Daniel Silva

You'd think I would be sick of Gabriel Allon books by now, but I find them as interesting now as the first one I read.

Having retreated to the windswept cliffs of Cornwall with his beautiful wife, Gabriel Allon's seclusion is interrupted by an eccentric London art dealer with a problem. An art restorer has been brutally murdered and a portrait by Rembrandt stolen—and only Gabriel can find it. But as he pursues the masterpiece across the globe, Gabriel discovers there are deadly secrets connected to the painting—and even deadlier men who will do anything to keep them.

Another great book in this series. 5/5 stars. Highly recommended.

The Defector by Daniel Silva

This is a second book in which Russian arms dealer Ivan Kharkov is set to destroy Israeli spy and assassin Gabriel Allon and it picks up where 'Moscow Rules" left off.  Grigori Bulganov once saved Gabriel Allon's life in Moscow—and Allon always repays his debts. So when the former Russian intelligence officer vanishes, Allon gathers his team of operatives to go after those responsible. But, in a running battle that rages across the globe, Allon soon realizes that his enemy may already hold the key to victory. And that if he continues, it will cost him more than he can bear...

Another great Daniel Silva novel.  5/5 stars.  Highly recommended.

Until the Ice Cracks

This book is about a near future set in a town in what could be Iceland.  I found it hard to read and ultimately not enjoyable.  3/5 stars, not recommended.
