In 1899 the Salisbury Galleries announce the biggest exhibition of
Old Master paintings in Europe. Excitement is intense. But before
it opens, leading British art expert Christopher Montague is found
murdered in his study. When Lord Francis Powerscourt is called
in to investigate he finds every book, notepad and scrap of paper
removed from the scene of the crime. Montague had been
working on something that would have rocked the art world. Did
his article that claimed a number of the 'Old Masters' had been
painted recently by a single hand have any link with his death?
Powerscourt embarks on an odyssey through a treacherous world
of art dealers and picture restorers in pursuit of a master forger. He
travels to Corsica where the trail grows cold, and it is in a remote
corner of England that the truth is finally revealed.
Third in the Lord Francis Powerscourt mystery series
