A Death in Cornwall

Gabriel works on the restoration project at the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli. He listens to classical music and opera while gently swabbing the painting with solvent. He has lunch at the Bar al Ponte. After finishing his work for the day, he gets a drink at Bar Cupido to spy on the bartender, Gennaro. When Gabriel gets home, he jokes with Chiara about Gennaro. Chiara makes dinner, and Irene talks about how she is sponsoring a tiger through the World Wildlife Fund. After Irene leaves the room, they talk about how she looks like Naomi. Gabriel explains the €1,000 he withdrew in Paris to pay Papa Diallo for the dead man’s phone.

After dinner, they go out on the balcony and debate whether Amadou Kamara can be trusted as a source, given his arguably dishonest work selling fake luxury handbags. Chiara suggests that Gabriel work with Anna Rolfe, whose father bought paintings that were stolen from Jewish families. They plan for him to paint six forgeries, which Anna will sell to Ricard.

Ten days later, Gabriel talks to Adrianna Zinetti about Gennaro as they leave the restoration site at the church. Adrianna texts Chiara, but Chiara doesn’t mention it over dinner.
