Death in Cornwell.

Daniel Silva.

When an old friend asks art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon for help with a baffling murder investigation, Gabriel finds himself pursuing a powerful and dangerous new adversary.

Charlotte Blake, a celebrated art history professor appears to be the victim of a 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.

Professor Blake was searching for a looted Picasso worth more then $1000 million, and Gabriel 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 Seachangers.

After a lifetime of hard work out bush, Hamish has retired to the city, for a life of comfort and ease. It’s what he always dreamed of, so why doesn’t he feel satisfied? When his 89 -year old father dies, Hamish comes to Cutlers Bay to settle his affairs. At first, packing up the house and renovating it to sell is both a filial duty and a welcome project to fill his days. As the work energises him, Hamish wonders: was retiring a mistake? The longer he’s in town, the more Cutlers Bay starts to feel like home. And a certain cafe owner makes the idea of staying there all the more appealing.
