Spannungsgeladener Thriller über Intrigen im Vatikan und die Kunstszene Venedigs Gabriel Allon erhält den Auftrag, eines der bedeutendsten Gemälde Venedigs zu restaurieren. Doch als er die Leiche einer mysteriösen Frau in den Gewässern der venezianischen Lagune entdeckt, gerät er in einen verzweifelten Wettlauf um ein verloren geglaubtes Meisterwerk von Leonardo da Vinci. Das Gemälde – ein Porträt eines wunderschönen jungen Mädchens – hat über ein Jahrhundert lang unbeachtet in einem Lagerraum der Vatikanischen Museen gelegen, falsch zugeordnet und unter einem wertlosen Bild eines unbekannten Künstlers verborgen. Da niemand weiß, dass sich der Leonardo dort befindet, fällt es auch niemandem auf, als es eines Nachts während eines verdächtigen Stromausfalls verschwindet. Niemandem – außer den skrupellosen Mafiosi und Finanzhaien hinter dem Diebstahl und der geheimnisvollen Frau, die Gabriel tot in Venedig fand. Eine Frau ohne Namen. Eine Frau ohne Gesicht. Die Handlung entfaltet sich in atemberaubendem Tempo – von den Galerien und Auktionshäusern Londons über eine Enklave unvorstellbaren Reichtums an der Côte d’Azur bis hin zu einem schockierenden Höhepunkt auf dem Petersplatz, wo das Leben eines Papstes auf dem Spiel steht.

Někdy je jediným způsobem, jak získat zpět ukradené mistrovské dílo, ukrást ho ještě jednou… Gabriel Allon, restaurátor umění a bývalý generální ředitel izraelských tajných služeb, se usadil v Benátkách se svou rodinou, ale jeho klid je narušen. Po objevení těla záhadné ženy v benátské laguně se ocitá v závodě o nalezení ztraceného mistrovského díla Leonarda da Vinciho, které bylo více než století ukryto ve Vatikánských muzeích pod bezcennou přemalbou. Když obraz záhadně zmizí, Gabriel se dostává do nebezpečného světa mafiánů a zločinců, kteří za krádeží stojí. Děj se rychle přesouvá z Benátek do Londýna, Říma a na francouzskou riviéru, až směřuje k šokujícímu vyvrcholení na Svatopetrském náměstí, kde je v ohrožení život papeže. Tento román je elegantní a stylovou cestou temnými uličkami světa umění a špinavými financemi Vatikánu, a opět dokazuje autorovu mistrovskou schopnost vytvářet mezinárodní intriky a napětí, což ho činí právem bestsellerovým autorem číslo 1.

Niekedy jediný spôsob, ako získať späť ukradnuté majstrovské dielo, je ukradnúť ho tiež... V novom vzrušujúcom príbehu o vražde, chamtivosti a korupcii musí špičkový reštaurátor a legendárny špión Gabriel Allon vyriešiť dokonalý zločin. Gabriel sa chystá reštaurovať jeden z najvýznamnejších obrazov v Benátkach. Keď však na hladine Benátskej lagúny objaví telo záhadnej ženy, ocitne sa v centre dramatického zápasu o získanie strateného majstrovského diela Leonarda da Vinciho. Tento obraz, portrét krásnej mladej dievčiny, vyše sto rokov zapadal prachom v depozitári Vatikánskych múzeí, omylom pripísaný inému autorovi a skrytý pod bezcenným obrazom neznámeho autora. A keďže nikto netuší, že v sklade sa nachádza Leonardovo dielo, nikto si ani nevšimne, keď raz v noci počas podozrivého výpadku elektrického prúdu zmizne. Teda nikto okrem neľútostných gangstrov a finančníkov stojacich za krádežou – a tiež okrem záhadnej ženy, ktorú Gabriel našiel v jej vodnom hrobe v Benátkach. Ženy bez mena. Ženy bez tváre. Pátranie po cennom obraze napreduje závratnou rýchlosťou a zavedie nás od londýnskych galérií a aukčných siení do enklávy na juhu Francúzska, kde sa sústredilo nepredstaviteľné bohatstvo, a napokon vyústi do šokujúceho záveru na Námestí svätého Petra v Ríme, kde hrozí smrteľné nebezpečenstvo samému pápežovi...
