Stacking the Shelves #15

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly post about sharing the books that you are adding to your bookshelf. The books can be either physical or or ebooks, books from the library or books that you purchased. Stacking the Shelves was originally hosted at the Team Tynga's Reviews blog but the blog shut down in 2021, the Reading Reality blog took over.

I am looking forward to Daniel Silva's newest novel Portrait of an Unknown Woman. It will be published on July 19, 2022 and I have pre-ordered the book. Silva writes the Gabriel Allon spy series and Portrait is the 24th installment of the series. In the novel we see that the legendary spy and art restorer Gabriel Allon has severed his ties with the Israeli intelligence service and settled in Venice. When longtime friend and London art dealer Julian Usherwood asks Gabriel to investigate the rediscovery and sale of a centuries old painting, Gabriel agrees to help out. After finding out that the painting is a fake, Gabriel conceives one of the most elaborate schemes in his career to find the person who painted the fake.
