A Death in Cornwall is the 2024 title and 24th in the series from Daniel Silva.  

Jealous? 😀

Gabriel Allon is searching for a stolen Picasso.

I enjoy the smart, entertaining dialogue. There is a lot of dark humour.

Some of the most popular characters from past books make an appearance, including a Corsican goat. 😀

A brutal murder, a missing masterpiece, a mystery only Gabriel Allon can solve …

Art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon has slipped quietly into London to attend a reception at the Courtauld Gallery celebrating the return of a stolen self-portrait by Vincent van Gogh. But when an old friend from the Devon and Cornwall Police seeks his help with a baffling murder investigation, he finds himself pursuing a powerful and dangerous new adversary.

The victim is Charlotte Blake, a celebrated professor of art history from Oxford who spends her weekends in the same seaside village where Gabriel once lived under an assumed identity. Her murder appears to be the work of a diabolical serial killer who has been terrorizing the Cornish countryside. …

Gabriel soon discovers that Professor Blake was searching for a looted Picasso worth more than a $100 million, and he takes up the chase for the painting as only he can—with six Impressionist canvases forged by his own hand and an unlikely team of operatives that includes a world-famous violinist, a beautiful master thief, and a lethal contract killer turned British spy.
