The English Girl by Daniel Silva - another in the Gabriel Allon series. Gabriel is an art restorer/Israeli ex-spy (or is he?). He's asked to find the kidnapped mistress of the English Prime Minister. These books usually spend quite a bit of time with the planning stages of things. I find that interesting but some might not.

Restoration by Olaf Olafsson - I read this because it was mentioned by the author of The Light in the Ruins. A villa in the middle of the German retreat from Rome during WWII, a forged painting and two women with secrets. Told from many viewpoints and different times. The war is not the focal point but rather the people caught in the middle.
