When iconic spy and art restorer Gabriel Allon steps into his favourite coffee shop in Murano island one day, he ends up meeting General Cesare Ferrari-- commander of the Art Squad-- who is eagerly waiting for him. The reason: The Carabinieri have found a secret vault in Amalfi villa, which was owned by South African shipping tycoon who was murdered. Inside the vault they discovered an empty artwork frame, which is similar in dimensions to that of one of the most valuable paintings in the world which is now missing. And so, Gabriel is being asked to find the missing artwork before it is forgotten.
