From Publishers Weekly
Silva's spy, assassin, and art-restoring protagonist, Gabriel Allon, returns in a fresh--and thrilling--international adventure. When an art restorer friend is killed and the Rembrandt painting he was working on stolen, Allon is lured out of a self-imposed retirement to investigate the crime. As the complex plot flips and twists from one country to the next, Phil Gigante keeps the plot moving forward with a calm, thoughtful reading that coils around the reader. His characters are perfectly drawn; the suspense, taut; and each individual is rendered distinctly: his reading of a Holocaust survivor's remembrance of being a little girl hiding from the Nazis is particularly effective and moving. A Putnam hardcover. (Aug.)

From AudioFile
The 21st century has its own James Bond: Israeli secret agent Gabriel Allon. Narrator Phil Gigante expertly brings Allon to life as he masterfully navigates a complex story. Gigante excels with his character portrayals, in particular his depiction of Allon, who has secluded himself on the Cornish coast as he attempts to retire from the world of espionage. But the appearance of someone from his past, a murder, and the theft of a Rembrandt propel him to follow a trail of clues that leads to deadly secrets. As the story races from England to the Netherlands, Argentina, and Switzerland, Gigante delivers credible characters and builds suspense. THE REMBRANDT AFFAIR is a smart and moving story. In Gigante's capable hands, listeners will be hooked. J.R.G. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
