The Colour Of Night - Softcover
Harry Strand is a renowned international dealer in Old Master and Impressionist drawings. Working from a gallery in Texas, he is mourning the death of his wife, Romy. He is approached by the beautiful Mara Song needing to sell some precious Klimt drawings after an acrimonious divorce. They begin to form a serious friendship and she goes with him to Italy on a business trip, but one night returning to their villa they discover an intruder has left a video playing - a video showing that Romy's death in a car crash was murder not accident. Harry then reveals to Mara that before he became an art dealer he was a government agent and, disgusted by his bosses allowing a violent criminal to launder money in exchange for information, he and a few colleagues put in place their own scame to skim half a billion dollars from this man's operations and now Shrade wants it back. As Harry flees across Europe trying to outwit Shrade, he discovers that former allies are not who they seem and nor are former enemies.

Product Description:
The Colour Of Night
Review:
Harry Strand appears to have it all. An international reputation as a dealer in old master and Impressionist drawings, a beautiful home, a devoted assistant and more than enough money.
But actually, Harry's life is anything but sweet. He is mourning the death of his wife Romy and trying to forget his career in American Intelligence--two facts that, as The Colour Of Night progresses, are inextricably linked. The one bright hope, the arrival of the enigmatic, recovering divorcée, Mara Song, is suddenly overshadowed by Harry's past. That is, until he finds a video tape of the final moments of Romy's life being played in Mara's apartment. How far is his new love implicated in the death of his old? Can Harry ever hope to lay the ghosts of the past to rest?
For those whose taste in thrillers turns to espionage, David Lindsey's latest novel does not disappoint. From the odious Schrade, a man willing to play Harry's former associates as expendable pawns in a life-and-death chase, to the many-sided Mara herself, this is a complex story of love and deceit. -- Elizabeth McGregor
