Synopsis "Atraco (in Spanish)"

El legendario espía y restaurador de arte Gabriel Allon se encuentra en Venecia reparando un retablo de Veronese cuando recibe un llamado urgente de la policía italiana. Julián Isherwood, el excéntrico comerciante de arte de Londres, se ha topado con una escalofriante escena de asesinato en el Lago Como, y ha sido detenido como sospechoso. Para salvar a su amigo, Gabriel debe localizar a los verdaderos asesinos y realizar una simple tarea: encontrar la pintura más famosa del mundo, ahora desaparecida.
A veces la mejor forma de encontrar una obra de arte robada es robar otra...
El hombre muerto es un espía británico caído con un secreto: ha estado traficando obras de arte robadas para venderlas a un misterioso coleccionista. Entre estas pinturas se encuentra la obra de arte más emblemática del mundo: la gloriosa Natividad con san Francisco y san Lorenzo de Caravaggio.
Gabriel se embarca en una arriesgada búsqueda para recuperar el Caravaggio y conocer la identidad del coleccionista. Su búsqueda lo llevará a una excitante cacería —desde los resplandecientes bulevares de París y Londres hasta los crudos submundos criminales de Marsella y Córcega, y finalmente a un pequeño banco privado en Austria, donde un hombre peligroso vigila las riquezas mal habidas de un dictador brutal. A su lado se encuentra una joven valiente que sobrevivió una de las peores masacres del siglo XX. Ahora, con la ayuda de Gabriel, recibirá la oportunidad de asestar un golpe contra la dinastía que destruyó su familia.

Allon became the protagonist of a series of more than 20 novels, including acclaimed works like The English Assassin (2002), The New Girl (2019), and The Order (2020)
