Art/Mystery lovers unite!
11 Mar 1997
Format:Mass Market Paperback
What a fun novel! Great plot-building, great international intrigue. Sort of reminds me of Margaret Truman's "Murder at the National Gallery."

I enjoyed reading this book & since other reviewers have not done so, let me quote the blurb on the back cover:
Mild-mannered and law-abiding Chris Norgren, curator of Renaissance and Baroque art for a Seattle Museum, is an unlikely undercover investigator, but when a priceless masterpiece is discovered in a shipment of reproductions, Chris reluctantly agrees to find out how the painting got there. All too soon, what should have been a pleasant interlude in Italy turns into a bizarre odyssey into shady art world dealings and deadly secrets.

An Art Collector's Dream Suspense Novel!
31 Mar 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I hugely enjoy all Aaron Elkins books but, as an art collector myself, finding a compelling suspense novel with such erudite knowledge of the art world is a real turn-on. As an Amazon author myself HIPAA Hysteria JAGC-Off I know how hard it is to write a compelling novel about such an arcane field as old master paintings. But Elkins pulls it off. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys suspense and art.
