Witty and clever art history-mystery featuring Jonathan Argyll,
from the author of the bestselling masterpiece 'An Instance of the
Fingerpost'. General Bottando of Rome's Art Theft Squad is in
trouble: his theory that a single master criminal, dubbed 'Giotto',
is behind a string of major art thefts has aroused the scorn of his
arch enemy and rival, the bureaucrat Corrado Argan. He needs a
result, and the confession of a dying woman may just provide the
vital clue. In pursuit of the elusive Giotto, Bottando's colleague,
Flavia di Stefano, sets off hotfoot for Florence, and English art
dealer Jonathan Argyll is dispatched to London and then on to rural
Norfolk - only to discover a body and a mystery which could lead to
the greatest art find of his career...
