Review:
Synopsis:
‘An elegant and amusing book, perfect for those who love a clever puzzle’
Frances Hegarty, Mail on Sunday
‘Iain Pears has a superior line in this kind of tale... A divertingly complex, often comic, story in which the art motif is ingeniously central to the solution’
Guardian
‘Giotto’s Hand provides a wry and illuminating portrait of the often devious world of fine art’
Val McDermid
Fascinating art-crime novel set in Italy from the bestselling author of An Instance of the Fingerpost. General Bottando of Rome's Art Theft Squad is in trouble: his theory that a single master criminal, dubbed 'Giotto', is behind a string of major art thefts has aroused the scorn of his arch enemy and rival, the bureaucrat Corrado Argan.
