Description
A wickedly ingenious thriller involving a lost masterpiece and a plot to use it for revenge. Charles Vermeille is the world's expert on seventeenth-century French master Claude Lorrain, one of the most copied painters in history. Handsome, self-assured--arrogant, some might even say--and a model of probity, Vermeille has the last word on Lorrain'sworks; he determines which are authentic, which are fake.
