Hey you, Catherine, 5 00:00:18,373 --> 00:00:21,733 Speaker 2: Hi Jack. Two very different sounding books for us this morning, 6 00:00:21,773 --> 00:00:24,333 Speaker 2: but both of them tantalizing in their own ways. Let's 7 00:00:24,373 --> 00:00:27,733 Speaker 2: begin with the latest from Daniel Silver An inside Job. 8 00:00:28,973 --> 00:00:31,813 Speaker 3: So Gabrielle on and his last few books, had resigned 9 00:00:31,813 --> 00:00:36,373 Speaker 3: from Massad and his favorite activity is restoring paintings. So 10 00:00:37,053 --> 00:00:39,173 Speaker 3: together with his wife Chiara and his two children, they 11 00:00:39,213 --> 00:00:41,133 Speaker 3: live in Venice and they run a company that's about 12 00:00:41,133 --> 00:00:43,693 Speaker 3: restoring art, and life's pretty good for him. He's kind 13 00:00:43,733 --> 00:00:45,533 Speaker 3: of worrying about his daughter Irene a little bit. He's 14 00:00:45,533 --> 00:00:48,973 Speaker 3: a bit of an activist streak, and his son Rafael, 15 00:00:48,973 --> 00:00:51,653 Speaker 3: who's great at mathson but also has his father's talent 16 00:00:51,813 --> 00:00:54,333 Speaker 3: for art. And then all of a sudden, life, of course, 17 00:00:54,373 --> 00:00:57,173 Speaker 3: becomes less peaceful when he finds a body floating in 18 00:00:57,173 --> 00:00:59,013 Speaker 3: the waters of Venice and it turns out to be 19 00:00:59,053 --> 00:01:01,253 Speaker 3: a restorer of art who used to work in the 20 00:01:01,373 --> 00:01:04,253 Speaker 3: art department at the Vatican. And Gabrielle of course still 21 00:01:04,293 --> 00:01:06,733 Speaker 3: sees and remembers things that others don't and make mental 22 00:01:06,733 --> 00:01:09,573 Speaker 3: connections that others miss, and he gets involved in situations 23 00:01:09,653 --> 00:01:12,533 Speaker 3: that he just won't let go of until he works 24 00:01:12,533 --> 00:01:15,973 Speaker 3: out what has gone on. And questions lead Gabrielle to 25 00:01:16,013 --> 00:01:19,933 Speaker 3: this unknown Leonardo da Vinci painting which the role was 26 00:01:19,933 --> 00:01:22,413 Speaker 3: in a financial scandal and concerns the Vatican and it 27 00:01:22,493 --> 00:01:25,013 Speaker 3: might become a real disaster for the Church. So he 28 00:01:25,053 --> 00:01:28,133 Speaker 3: follows the threat of the story from its lead to France, 29 00:01:28,173 --> 00:01:31,253 Speaker 3: to art experts, to multiple countries, to organized crime, to 30 00:01:31,293 --> 00:01:33,653 Speaker 3: the in the workings of the Vatican. And it's not 31 00:01:33,693 --> 00:01:36,173 Speaker 3: so much now a spy novel. It's more an art 32 00:01:36,253 --> 00:01:39,653 Speaker 3: heist novel, and it's really focused on that financial world 33 00:01:39,733 --> 00:01:41,573 Speaker 3: and the world of art, and it's fast paced and 34 00:01:41,613 --> 00:01:45,053 Speaker 3: the secrets and art history and the Vatican and lots 35 00:01:45,053 --> 00:01:48,293 Speaker 3: of beautiful localities and planning your twists and turns and 36 00:01:48,333 --> 00:01:50,813 Speaker 3: the action unfolds you around you like almost like you're 37 00:01:50,813 --> 00:01:51,933 Speaker 3: on a cinematic journey. 38 00:01:52,013 --> 00:01:56,853 Speaker 2: Yeah, well that sounds fantastic.
