En una nueva fascinante obra maestra del autor bestseller # 1 del New York Times, Daniel Silva, Gabriel Allon emprende la búsqueda, de alto riesgo, del mayor falsificador de arte que haya existido. Legendario espía y restaurador de arte, Gabriel Allon por fin ha roto sus lazos con la inteligencia israelí y se ha establecido tranquilamente en Venecia, el único lugar donde ha conocido de verdad la paz. Su bella esposa, Chiara, ha tomado la dirección cotidiana de la Compañía de Restauración Tiepolo, y sus dos pequeños hijos han sido inscritos con discreción en la escuela primaria del vecindario. Por su parte, Gabriel pasa sus días paseando por las calles y los canales de la ciudad acuosa, despidiéndose de los demonios de su trágico, violento, pasado. Pero cuando el excéntrico londinense traficante de arte, Julian Isherwood le pide a Gabriel investigar las circunstancias que rodean el redescubrimiento y la lucrativa venta de pinturas de hace siglos, es empujado a un mortal juego de al gato y al ratón donde nada es lo que parece. Pronto, Gabriel descubre que el trabajo en cuestión, un retrato de una mujer no identificada atribuido a Sir Anthony va Dyck, es casi con seguridad una falsificación tremendamente inteligente. Para encontrar a la misteriosa persona que la pintó —y descubrir un fraude multimillonario en el pináculo del mundo del arte — Gabriel concibe uno de los engaños más elaborados de su carrera. Si quiere tener éxito, debe convertirse en el mismo reflejo del hombre a quien persigue: el falsificador de arte más excepcional que el mundo haya conocido. Elegante, sofisticada e ingeniosamente tramada, Retrato de una mujer desconocida es una travesía, por demás entretenida, en el lado oscuro del mundo del arte, un lugar donde traficantes sin escrúpulos con frecuencia engañan a sus compradores, e inversionistas de bolsillos llenos tratan las grandes pinturas como si fueran sólo otro tipo de activos para ser vendidos y comprados a cambio de una ganancia. Desde su apertura elegante hasta el impactante giro de su clímax, la novela es una proeza de narración y una de las piezas más finas de ficción sobre atracos jamás escritas. Y es una prueba más de que, cuando se trata de intriga internacional y suspenso, Daniel Silva no tiene igual. In a spellbinding new masterpiece by #1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva, Gabriel Allon undertakes a high-stakes search for the greatest art forger who ever lived Legendary spy and art restorer Gabriel Allon has at long last severed ties with Israeli intelligence and settled quietly in Venice, the only place where he has ever truly known peace. His beautiful wife, Chiara, has taken over the day-to-day management of the Tiepolo Restoration Company, and their two young children are discreetly enrolled in a neighborhood scuola elementare. For his part, Gabriel spends his days wandering the streets and canals of the watery city, bidding farewell to the demons of his tragic, violent past. But when the eccentric London art dealer Julian Isherwood asks Gabriel to investigate the circumstances surrounding the rediscovery and lucrative sale of a centuries-old painting, he is drawn into a deadly game of cat and mouse where nothing is as it seems. Gabriel soon discovers that the work in question, a portrait of an unidentified woman attributed to Sir Anthony van Dyck, is almost certainly a fiendishly clever fake. To find the mysterious figure who painted it—and uncover a multibillion-dollar fraud at the pinnacle of the art world—Gabriel conceives one of the most elaborate deceptions of his career. If it is to succeed, he must become the very mirror image of the man he seeks
