Description

Artwork is having a crazy event with homicide in this spectacular, creative story. Eric Van Lustbader's novella takes us in the precincts of Ny's uptown memorial picture, through the galleries and lofts of Soho, to some private Mafia estate to the platinum coast of Long Island. Tess Chase, a no-nonsense appraiser having a preference for martial in addition to fine-arts, is in search of an extended-lost painting by Raphael. It entangles her in an incident of life-threatening brother competition between the heirs to the kingdom of East Coast crime boss Rocco Bravanno, separating Tessis loyalties between the charming Anthony and his spectacular cousin, Jackie, both of whom possess a normal lust for artwork and palette for homicide.
