What this book is about
A bombing in Vienna kills a Holocaust survivor who was on the verge of exposing a war criminal still living under a false identity. Gabriel Allon investigates — following a trail that leads from Vienna's present to Austria's past. A Death in Vienna is the fourth Gabriel Allon novel — one of Silva's most emotionally powerful examinations of the Holocaust's long shadow.
