Présentation de l'éditeur
When a beautiful woman enters Michael Whiting’s London art gallery and asks for his help he is intrigued. Isobel Sadler, as she introduces herself, has inherited a painting – ‘Landscape of Lies’ – completed c. 1537 and showing nine curious figures against a landscape background. To Michael the work is of ‘decorative value only’, but Isobel explains that an art historian, George Grainger, offered her £1,000 for it. She refused, but two days later she disturbed a burglar at her home trying to steal the picture. She is convinced there is a mystery attached to the landscape. Michael teams up with Isobel, and by careful detective work learn that the heirloom is in fact a ‘puzzle map’ which, properly read, could lead to a cache of priceless relics, buried at the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries by a rich Somerset priory. However, Grainger has also acquired a copy of the painting, and the race is on – only Grainger will stop at nothing, even murder. A gripping novel of romance and suspense, Landscape of Lies has all the elements of a typical Hitchcock adventure.
About the author...
Peter Watson was for many years a journalist on the staffs of The Sunday Times , The Times and Observer . In 1982, after disguising himself as an art dealer, he exposed a gang of art smugglers who were stealing old master paintings in Italy and selling them in New York and London. The courier of the gang was a Roman Catholic priest attached to the Vatican’s mission to the United Nations. Watson’s account of the adventure, published in Britain as Double Dealer and in America as The Caravaggio Conspiracy , won a Gold Dagger Award from the Crime Writer’s Association. The BBC TV film of the book was nominated for an Emmy. He lives in London where his recreations are opera, fishing and cricket.Les informations fournies dans la section « A propos du livre » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Soft cover. Etat : Good. No Jacket. This book has been read, minor wear to edges of covers, previous owner signed first inner page. No other markings inner pages, spine intact, some creases. "Isobel Sadler is dead broke. The only thing she's got that might bring in any money is a stupendously bad painting that's been in her family for generations. It's so ugly she can't imagine it would be worth much, but the other night someone tried to steal it. Mystified, she turns to art dealer Michael Whiting, who identifies the painting as a 16th-century treasure map. If they can decipher the clues, Isobel's money troubles will be history. Whiting, however, isn't the only one who has figured out the painting's true a rival is one step ahead, and he'll stop at nothing to get his hands on the medieval treasure." Good Reads "Peter Watson was educated at the universities of Durham, London and Rome, and was awarded scholarships in Italy and the United States. After a stint as Deputy Editor of New Society magazine, he was for four years part of the Sunday Times 'Insight' team of investigative journalists. He wrote the daily Diary column of the London Times before becoming that paper's New York correspondent. He returned to London to write a column about the art world for the Observer and then at The Sunday Times. He has published three exposes in the world of art and antiquities and from 1997 to 2007 was a Research Associate at the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research at the University of Cambridge. He has published twelve books of non-fiction and seven novels, some under the pen name of Mackenzie Ford. He lives in London where his interests include theatre, opera and fishing." Good Reads.
