Publisher's Summary

In an exchange of favors with an art dealer colleague, Jonathan Argyll unluckily offers to transport a painting from Paris back to Rome. It seems routine work, and Jonathan gets to meet his girlfriend, Flavia, who works for Rome's Art Theft Squad.

But when a would-be thief tries to take the painting at the train station, and the art dealer seems less interested in his purchase once he sees it, Jonathan wonders why, as events unfold, someone is willing to kill for it. With customary wit and panache, Jonathan and Flavia embark on a breathless chase to capture a killer who has been refining his own particular art for many years.

What the critics say

"A witty, exceptionally brilliant puzzler." ( Sunday Times (London))
"A joy for readers who enjoy a complex plot set to clever dialogue with the often nefarious goings-on of the international art market as a backdrop." ( St. Petersburg Times)

Excellent- loved it!!!!

Ian Pears books are so well written, and engaging. The characters of Flavia and Argyle are a fantastic team- probably one of the best in recently written novels. I don’t know why more of his book’s aren’t available in Audible. They’re far superior to many I’ve listened to and deserve to be heard.
