September Book, The Kill Artist
The chief of the Israeli Intelligence recalls two former agents in order to eliminate a top Palestinian terrorist. One agent, Gabriel Allon, is now an art restorer, the other a fashion model. Ten years before on a mission to destroy the Arab Black September group they were briefly lovers. Now their pasts and their enemies come back to haunt them, as the terrorist murders ambassadors in Paris and Holland. Will the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks be his next target? And what motivates the terrorist? Is it politics, or is it possibly personal?
