Description

Framed blows the lid off one of Melbournes most puzzling secrets: Who stole Picassos Weeping Woman from the NGV in 1986.
Written by the brother of the brilliant artist who was framed for the crime, Framed draws on never-before-revealed information told to the author before his brother died.
Framed is totally engrossing and highly controversial. It is at once a rollicking crime thriller, a vividly drawn period piece of mid-eighties Melbourne, and an expos of the murky under-belly of the citys art scene.
This is a gripping speculative account of Melbournes greatest unsolved crime. None of it may be true but few readers will.
