About this Item
1st ed. Light soiling at bottom edge of dark blue cloth, page edges lightly spotted else near fine in lightly soiled dj, stained at rear panel. Whit Traxler might have been called an antique dealer. But Whit only dealt in antiques that really interested him-and only when it pleased him. The Auction Atelier of Kyle Dormer & Son was one of his favorite places. Not only were the Dormers honest and agreeable people to deal with, but at their place one saw a cross section of society-people with their emotions bared. Now Dormer & Son had something that interested Whit-he wasn't sure, of course, but it looked remarkably like a Rembrandt--Rembrandt's Gloved Saskia, he called it. It was a painting of Rembrandt's wife, Saskia, and in the lower corner could be glimpsed a gloved hand. The picture was boxed and behind a dusty glass, but Whit coveted Saskia. And so did a lot of other people. When an antique dealer decides that he will go to any lengths to get a painting, it can lead to murder -- and the first murder is only the beginnig.
