Description
'Here
they go again! Abby and Desi, the
amateur sleuths introduced in the pages of 'The Subtle Thief.' find themselves
once again awash in the heady waters of New York City's art world - and once
again immersed in a mystery that involves not just a dead body but also one of
the greatest art thefts in American history.
Their closest friends from the previous novel join them as they explore
galleries, museums, conservation laboratories, and a remote house hidden in the
dunes of the 'horrible Hamptons.'
Was
it murder or natural causes? Is it a
mediocre canvas or a masterpiece in disguise?
Leave it to our sparring duo to solve the puzzles and make the headlines
through their amorous and investigative pursuits.
