Does Gabriel Allon still work as an active spy in this novel?

The series begins with The Kill Artist, Gabriel Allon No. 1. A Death in Cornwall can be read as a later investigation, but starting with The Kill Artist gives the clearest history of Gabriel and his intelligence team. [Daniel Silva FAQ](https://danielsilvabooks.com/about-daniel/faq/)
