Product Description
Product Description
A classic crime tale from the worldwide bestselling author - a special edition with a new introduction by the author.
Book Description
Modigliani. Unarguably one of the greatest artists who ever lived. Modigliani's women. Those elongated, haunting figures, as eternally provocative as the Mona Lisa. Adn Modigliani's missing masterpiece. A priceless lost treasure - or a chillingly dangerous game? Up and coming artist Peter Usher has still to exhibit anywhere, still to make even the most modest mark on the London art scene. But as rumour turns to reality, Usher finds himself caught up in a race to uncover the shadowy figures behind a breathtaking scam. Will art genius ever be rewarded? Will the brush prove more deadly than the gun?

Format:Paperback
I am a Ken Follett fan, but I do not recommend this early sample of his writing. A very hard book to read far to many characters. Stick to his latest books all of which have been good reads.

This is a very good read. It is a very early Follett and better than Paper Money. Follett soon perfected his art and starting banging out classics. But I still believe this book is much better than a lot of other authors bests efforts. For me, Follett's best works include The Key to Rebecca, Pillars and The Man from St Petersburg.

I love Ken Follets work, and I think a 1 star rating is a little unfair for this book! Of the Ken's I have read this is the worst, BUT it is still a good story and the characters are well defined. If Ken Follet had written only this book and nothing else then this discussion would not be taking place - in it's own right it is A GOOD READ!
