Portrait of a Spy by Daniel Silva
I'm a big fan of this espionage series by Daniel Silva.
I love the character of Gabriel, master spy and master art restorer--who just wants to retire from spying to focus on his art but keeps getting drawn back in for one more mission. And I love his wife Chiara, who's equally adept at whipping up a big Italian feast as driving a surveillance car across the desert in rapid pursuit of the bad guys.
In Portrait of a Spy, Gabriel, stumbles upon a man getting ready to blow himself up in a crowd in London. He tries to stop the attack but is himself stopped by the British authorities. Soon he's hard at work trying to track down the mastermind behind a recent series of attacks. And his plan involves a woman from his past--who may have a good reason to betray him.
It's quite the page-turner and I like the way Daniel Silva has incorporated recent events in the Middle East into the plot.
