An Inside Job by Daniel Silva (Hardcover)

An Inside Job is the latest Gabriel Allon spy thriller from #1 New York Times–bestselling author Daniel Silva, published in hardcover on July 15, 2025. Art restorer and legendary intelligence operative Gabriel Allon has been awarded a commission to restore one of the most important paintings in Venice. When he discovers the body of a mysterious woman floating in the waters of the Venetian Lagoon, he is drawn into a desperate race to recover a lost masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci.

The painting — a portrait of a beautiful young girl — has been gathering dust in a storeroom at the Vatican Museums for more than a century, misattributed and hidden beneath a worthless canvas by an unknown artist. No one knows the Leonardo is there, which is precisely why no one notices when it vanishes during a suspicious power outage. Only the ruthless mobsters and financiers behind the theft know the truth — and the mysterious woman Gabriel found dead in Venice.

The action sweeps from the galleries and auction houses of London to an enclave of unimaginable wealth on the French Riviera, culminating in a shocking climax in St. Peter's Square where the life of a pope hangs in the balance. An Inside Job is an elegant and stylish journey through the dark side of the art world and the Vatican's murky finances, cementing Daniel Silva as the reigning master of international intrigue and suspense.
