A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

While Claude Monet paints the wintry mists over the Thames, the bodies of two young women are dragged from its murky depths, arousing fears of a return of Jack the Ripper.  Craston, a green diplomat at the Foreign Office, is unwillingly drawn into the police investigation—and ordered to keep an eye on the visiting French artist.  All the while, neither man knows that the source of the horror stalks the floor above M. Monet's suite...

Revue de presse

“A lovely novel – compulsively readable and beautifully written.” -- Colin Dexter

“The novel tells a dramatic story about crime and perception, art and reality through the eyes of the famous painter, the policeman and a young diplomat. Multi-layered and voiced, this is a fascinating attempt to add an extra dimension to this historical crime novel.” -- Guardian
