Gabriel Allon is an Israeli Intelligence Officer. He's so secret that even the Israeli Intelligence doesn't even know he exists. He goes around Europe and assassinates bad people with a Beretta under the cover of an art restorer. In this book he investigates the murder of a friend and associate. During the course of the investigation he discovers a secret group in the Vatican called the Crux Vera who have been murdering people all over Europe in order to keep the Vatican's role in the Holocaust a secret.
I thought the first part of this book was off to a slow start. It seemed to take a long time before it started to make sense, but then it rumbled along at an acceptable and interesting secret agent genre clip. It was a great poolside read. These are the types of books that I'm super excited to get from the LA County Library with my LA County Library card.
