The Cellist / La violonchelista \\

Viac o knihe

Viktor Orlov, once Russia's wealthiest man, now lives in London, fighting against the authoritarian regime that controls the Kremlin. Despite his luxurious life in Chelsea, complete with armed guards, he becomes the target of a deadly plot orchestrated by Russia's vengeful president. On a rainy summer evening during a global pandemic, Orlov finds himself facing death when a stack of documents, laced with a lethal nerve agent, is delivered to his home. The Metropolitan Police trace the delivery to a prominent investigative reporter from the anti-Kremlin Moskovskaya Gazeta, who disappears from London shortly after the incident, leading MI6 to suspect her as a Moscow assassin. However, Gabriel Allon, who owes his life to Orlov, believes this assessment is flawed. His quest for the truth takes him from London to Amsterdam and then to Geneva, where a private intelligence service, the Haydn Group, is plotting a catastrophic act of violence aimed at destabilizing America and leaving Russia unchallenged. With the help of a brilliant young woman linked to a notorious bank, Allon races against time to thwart this dangerous scheme.
