✦ Synopsis

The sins of the past reverberate into the present, in an extraordinary novel by the new master of international suspense.

It was an ordinary-looking photograph. Just the portrait of a man. But the very sight of it chilled Allon to the bone.

Art restorer and sometime spy Gabriel Allon is sent to Vienna to
authenticate a painting, but the real object of his search becomes
something else entirely: to find out the truth about the photograph that
has turned his world upside down. It is the face of the unnamed man who
brutalized his mother in the last days of World War II, during the
Death March from Auschwitz. But is it really the same one? If so, who is
he? How did he escape punishment? Where is he now?

Fueled by
an intensity he has not felt in years, Allon cautiously begins to
investigate; but with each layer that is stripped away, the greater the
evil that is revealed, a web stretching across sixty years and thousands
of lives. Soon, the quest for one monster becomes the quest for many.
And the monsters are stirring...

Rich with sharply etched
characters and prose, and a plot of astonishing intricacy, this is an
uncommonly intelligent thriller by one of our very best writers.
