A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Boston-based art detectives Sarah Kelling and husband Max Bittersohn were hoping for some time off after their last case. That hope dies quickly though, when they run into Countess Lydia Ouspenska, an expert forger of Byzantine icons. She tells them that an old aquaintance, Bartolo Arbalest, known in their circles as 'The Resurrection Man' because of his skills in restoring damaged works of art, has set-up a Renaissance-style 'guild' in their fair city. Nothing mysterious about that of course, except for the fact that some of Boston's wealthiest citizens have been murdered shortly after valuable object d'arts restored by ARbalest's organisation were returned to them.
When Sarah's old friend George Protherie becomes the latest victim, her investigation, which ties in with Max's search into Arablest's background, reveals that Protherie was not the said Boston Brahmin he appeared. In fact, he was guarding an array of secrets that stretch back to his old days as an importer of oriental antiquities...

Présentation de l'éditeur

A master forger has come to Boston, and his clients are not long for this world

If she weren't so fabulous, the Countess Lydia Ouspenska might be considered a gangster's moll. The last time she met Max Bittersohn, Boston's famed art-fraud investigator, she was forging minute Byzantine masterpieces to make ends meet. But when Max bumps into her on the Common, the Countess is back on her feet. She has taken up with Bartolo Arbalest, a master forger currently masquerading as an art restorer. And as Bittersohn knows all too well, even the most genteel fraudster cannot be trusted.

With the help of his wife, Sarah, Max looks for the secret lair of Bartolo's supposed restoration guild. But when the guild's clients begin to die, it becomes clear there is more at stake than a few fabricated icons. The art may be fake, but for Max and Sarah the danger is very real.
