Clever Italian art-history crime series featuring scholar and
dealer Jonathon Argyll, from the author of the best-selling
masterpiece 'An Instance of the Fingerpost'. The hardest part of
being an art dealer is having to sell your beloved works. For
Jonathan Argyll, the pain is soothed when an American billionaire
agrees to pay a vast sum for a relatively minor piece. Arriving in
the Californian sunshine eager to collect his cheque, Jonathan
bumps into one of his less scrupulous colleagues, and discovers he
is not the American's only seller. A bust of Pope Pius V is being
smuggled out of Italy, and trouble is following in its wake. Within
hours, Jonathan's billionaire is dead and both the smuggler and his
bust have gone missing. Thinking things can't get any worse,
Jonathan calls for the help of the Italian Art Theft Squad - and
instead finds himself the killer's next target...
