Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Silva completes his cycle of three interconnected novels (The English Assassin; The Confessor) dealing with "the unfinished business of the Holocaust" with this superbly crafted narrative of espionage and foreign intrigue. During the later stages of WWII, Sturmbannführer Erich Radek's job was to erase all evidence of the Holocaust. Radek, now known as Ludwig Vogel, is chairman of the Danube Valley Trade and Investment Corporation and lives quietly in Vienna. A bombing at the Austrian Wartime Claims and Inquiries office leaves chief investigator Eli Lavon near death. Undercover Mossad agent Gabriel Allon, protagonist of the two previous novels, is ordered by Israeli spymaster Ari Shamron to ferret out the perpetrator. Allon is reluctant-he's working as an art restorer on one of Bellini's great altarpieces in Venice-but Eli is an old friend from the secret service, and duty calls. The case becomes personal when Allon, reading his mother's account of her time in the camps "I will not tell all the things I saw. I cannot. I owe this much to the dead" discovers that not only was Radek a sadistic monster, his mother was very nearly murdered by him. The chase is long and complex as agents from a number of international spy groups circle and harass Allon as he hunts down the infamous and still deadly Radek. Those seeking cheap thrills should look elsewhere. Action and suspense abound, but this is serious fiction with a serious purpose. Silva keeps the pressure on the reader as well as his characters as there are important lessons to be learned and vital history to be remembered.

From AudioFile

A riveting account picks up the passionate search by art restorer/Mossad agent Gabriel Allon for a perpetrator of unspeakable horrors in the Nazi death camps. Plot twists, hairbreadth escapes, and moments of terror abound. In this third and final book in a trilogy (THE CONFESSOR, THE ENGLISH ASSASSIN), Allon's search becomes highly personal as it is intricately interwoven with a love story. Silva's characters are well served by narrator Tony Goldwyn, who deftly delivers various foreign accents, transcending one narrative voice. An especially attractive package is an added bonus.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not his best, but still very good., Jul 19 2004

By	Vinny Mac "bigpoppa_2059" (CO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Death In Vienna (Hardcover)

I have been a hardcore fan of Silva since I discovered his novel "The English Assassin" in the spring of 2002. I was going through a difficult time in my life and his book helped me through it. Since I've re-read all his novels at least twice and must say I was dissapointed this time. Don't get me wrong, this is a well-crafted, intelligent spy yarn that nicely ties up Silva's trilogy, but this one seemed to move slower than usual and the plotting just wasn't very interesting. There is more interesting backstory & drama involving Gabriel's personal life, including things with his mother and the woman in his life, but like I said the actual mystery/spy story in the novel is his weakest yet. I feel that "The English Assassin" is still the best of the three, and they've gone downhill since. Now that Silva has gotten these Holocaust novels out of his system, hopefully he can go back and write something with more thrilling suspense like "The English Assassin" or "The Kill Artist", which in my opinion is his best Gabriel Allon novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars High quality thriller., Jul 15 2004

By	Henry W. Wagner (Rockaway, NJ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Death In Vienna (Hardcover)

When a bomb explodes in the Vienna Wartime Claims and Inquiry Office, killing Eli Lavon, an elderly Jewish man who investigated crimes relating to the Holocaust, Israeli intelligence dispatches Gabriel Allon to Austria to investigate. Allon's appearance in Vienna stirs up trouble as old enemies seek revenge, secrets are uncovered and unholy alliances are revealed.

A Death in Vienna is simultaneously the fourth Gabriel Allon book and the third installment in a trilogy which, in Silva's words, "completes a cycle of three novels dealing with the unfinished business of the Holocaust." Exhibiting the considerable writing skills he displayed in the first two novels of the series, The English Assassin and The Confessor, Silva admittedly opts for the most obvious of villains, the Nazis. Yet, by making Allon's mission personal (his discovery of his mother's writings about her participation in the January 1945 death march from Birkneau is a key turning point in the novel) and by linking the book's action to current events (i.e. the current political scene in Austria), he renders a familiar premise fresh and emotionally engaging.

A fascinating protagonist, Allon's talents for tradecraft and assassination provide a potent contrast to his preferred work as an art restorer. Of course, a hero needs worthy opponents, which Silva provides in the assassin known as The Clockmaker, and in former Sturmbannfuehrer Erich Radek. Add in a well -drawn cast of supporting characters, and Silva's ability to painlessly relate relevant history amid the action, and you have a well-balanced thriller, an effort that will leave fans clamoring for additional adventures of Gabriel Allon and friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read for the Beach or for the Road!, Jun 25 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Death In Vienna (Hardcover)

The Confessor is a gripping read with a highly relevent plot. Gabriel Allon is called upon to investigate a murder of a Jewish professor in Munich and the investigation leads all the way to the inner sanctums of the Vatican. This is a page turner and if you are looking for a thriller for beach reading, airport reading, or for a rainy night -- this book fits the bill.
