Witty Italian art-history crime series featuring English dealer
Jonathan Argyll, from the author of the best-selling literary
masterpiece, 'An Instance of the Fingerpost'. Paris can do strange
things to a man's mind... like making him agree to an apparently
harmless favour of escorting a picture to Rome. 'The Death of
Socrates' is a particularly nondescript piece, so art dealer
Jonathan Argyll can sympathize when its recipient refuses to accept
delivery. But in an unusual twist, the same man is found dead a few
hours later. Surely the painting wasn't that bad? Now caught up in
a murder investigation, Jonathan recalls an attempt to steal the
artwork while he was at the train station. Could this be the
killer? The bodies start piling up and Jonathan must uncover the
dark wartime secret at the heart of the mystery - before someone
puts him out of the picture for good.
