Gabriel Allon is called to Zurich to evaluate and restore a Raphael, but when he arrives the owner is lying in a pool of blood. Gabriel is soon caught up in case involving a missing art collection, a Swiss banking cabal, and a temperamental violinist. I liked this second book in the Allon series much more than the first. The author seems to have moved past his adolescent fixation on women's bodies, and focuses instead on an interesting chapter in history: the Nazi theft of art and the role of Switzerland in aiding and abetting the Nazis by laundering artwork and preventing its reclamation by the rightful heirs. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Es geht um einen Schweizer Bankier und die Rolle der Nazis bzw. Hermann Göring bei der Plünderung jüdischer Kunstwerke und deren Einlagerung in Tresoren der Schweizer Banken. Besonders gelungen und lesenswert empfand ich den Vergleich zwischen der aktuellen Tätigkeit des israelischen Agenten Gabriel Allon als Gemälderestaurator mit der Recherchearbeit als Spion, die sich in ihren offenen Grundstrukturen stark ähneln.
"Der Engländer" ist ein Auftragskiller und liefert sich mit Gabriel Allon, dem Agenten des Mossad, einen atemlos spannenden Plot um die Vertuschung der Rolle einiger reicher (gieriger) Eidgenossen, deren Netzwerk unknackbar scheint. Nachdem ich zwei andere Romane um Gabriel Allon (Der Zeuge, Die Loge) gelesen hatte, fühlt man die Unverletzbarkeit des Helden - insgesamt tut es dem Roman jedoch keinen Abbruch.
Wichtig sind hier auch die spannenden Hintergründe um die sogenannte Beutekunst und deren verschlungene
Wege, die bis heute nicht gänzlich aufgeklärt sind. Und wirklich überraschend ist das Ende, ein Schluss, den man so nicht erwarten würde.
