I "read" this book via audiobook. I have loved all of Silva's books, and Gabriel Allon is one of my favorite fictional characters. I was so disappointed when the beginning of the book mentioned the Jan 6, 2020 event. I went to Silva's information page and saw to whom he is married and where he had worked and wondered where he would go with this plot. I turned off the audiobook after Silva had Allon comparing himself to Joe Biden.
