Portrait of a Spy

New York: Harper, 2011. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 6x1x9. First edition. Jacket edges rubbed. Light stain on top page ridge. 2011 Hard Cover. 455 pp. For Gabriel and his wife, Chiara, it was supposed to be the start of a pleasant weekend in London - a visit to a gallery in St. James's to authenticate a newly discovered painting by Titian, followed by a quiet lunch. But a pair of deadly bombings in Paris and Copenhagen has already marred this autumn day. And while walking toward Covent Garden, Gabriel notices a man he believes is about to carry out a third attack. Before Gabriel can draw his weapon, he is knocked to the pavement and can only watch as the nightmare unfolds.
