Death of an Old Master (Lord Francis Powerscourt) - Tapa blanda

In 1899 the Salisbury Galleries announce the biggest exhibition of

Old Master paintings in Europe. Excitement is intense. But before

it opens, leading British art expert Christopher Montague is found

murdered in his study. When Lord Francis Powerscourt is called

in to investigate he finds every book, notepad and scrap of paper

removed from the scene of the crime. Montague had been

working on something that would have rocked the art world. Did

his article that claimed a number of the 'Old Masters' had been

painted recently by a single hand have any link with his death?

Powerscourt embarks on an odyssey through a treacherous world

of art dealers and picture restorers in pursuit of a master forger. He

travels to Corsica where the trail grows cold, and it is in a remote

corner of England that the truth is finally revealed.
