An Inside Job by Daniel Silva

Art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon returns in this New York Times Bestseller from master storyteller Daniel Silva—a dazzling tale of stolen masterpieces, Vatican intrigue, and a murder that sets everything in motion.

When Gabriel discovers a mysterious woman’s body floating in the Venetian Lagoon, he’s pulled into a high-stakes hunt for a lost Leonardo da Vinci portrait. The painting—a luminous depiction of a young girl—has been hiding in plain sight at the Vatican Museums for over a century, misattributed and forgotten beneath layers of worthless paint. But when it vanishes during a suspicious power outage, Gabriel must navigate the shadowy underworld of art thieves, ruthless mobsters, and the Vatican’s murky financial dealings to recover it.

The chase spans from London’s elegant galleries to the sun-drenched wealth of the French Riviera, building to a breathtaking climax in St. Peter’s Square where a pope’s life hangs in the balance. Silva weaves art history, political intrigue, and pulse-pounding suspense into an unputdownable thriller that proves why readers stay up all night with his books.

“Daniel Silva spins a yarn better than any living author and I appreciated the chance to disappear into a great book, if only for a single night (there is no stopping a Silva book once I’ve begun).” —Todd Wilkins, Best Thriller Books

Perfect for fans of sophisticated international thrillers where art, danger, and brilliance collide. Sometimes the only way to recover a stolen masterpiece is to steal it back.
