About this listen

#1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva delivers another stunning thriller in his action-packed tale of high stakes international intrigue.

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. But there are a number of telltale inconsistencies, including a missing mobile phone. And then there is the mysterious three-letter cypher she left behind on a notepad in her study.

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. The result is a stylish and wildly entertaining mystery that moves at lightning speed from the cliffs of Cornwall to the enchanted island of Corsica and, finally, to a breathtaking climax on the very doorstep of 10 Downing Street.

Supremely elegant and suspenseful, A Death in Cornwall is Daniel Silva at his best—a dazzling tale of murder, power, and insatiable greed that will hold listeners spellbound until they finish listening.

Silva does it again. Absolutely brilliant.

I was so excited for this latest book in the Gabriel Allon series and was not disappointed. Silva is unmatched in this genre. I’ve read them all and this was like meeting old friends. Delightful from start to finish. Please keep them coming Mr. Silva! Ballerini’s performance is equally brilliant. Two of the very best in the business. Can’t wait for the next one…!

Narration is A1.

Oh why do these go by so quickly! A nice fling without the usual cast from Mossad.

Another Smash Hit for Daniel Silva

One of my favourite novelists - if not my favourite. I haven't missed a single one of Daniel's books and purchase them as soon as they are released, if not sooner as a pre-order. I also love Edoardo Ballerini's narration.

Daniel's books always seem relevant to current world events - neve more so than at this time.

I would love to visit Isherwood Fine Arts in Mason's Yard when I am in London, Lizard Point in Cornwall and the churches where Mario Delvecchio restores priceless works of art when I am in Venice. I would love to attend an Anna Rolfe concert. And I think I am in love with Chiara.

Sadly, while I stand by Israel at this time, I do not believe the leaders are beyond reproach. I would not feel comfortable visiting Israel right now due to the tragedy of October 7th and the ongoing tragedy in Gaza.
