Murder is a work of art… When the acclaimed Cuban painter Wifredo
Lam turns up dead in his Greenwich Village studio, officers Juanita
Diaz and Brian Fitzgerald of the NYPD, must investigate the crime.
But what they find is much more gruesome than they ever could have
imagined. Suspicion soon falls on a tight-knit circle of Surrealist
refugees who fled Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II, and
Diaz and Fitzgerald must traverse the city, from Chinatown's
underworld to Spanish Harlem's gangland, to find the truth. Did one
of the artists' bizarre parlor games turn deadly? Or is there
something even more sinister afoot? "Smart, witty, filled with so
much history of the period, beautifully written, and
suspenseful."—Jonathan Santlofer, author of The Death Artist
"A first-rate whodunnit set in the 1960s New York art world, a time
and place Helen Harrison has recreated with a page-turning mix of
history, gossip, and fun!"-Bob Colacello, author of Holy Terror:
Andy Warhol Close Up One artist. One student. One deadly mystery.
When Regionalist painter Thomas Hart Benton's corpse is discovered
behind the easels of Manhattan's famed art school, whispers in the
art community say he had it coming. As Benton's list of enemies
lengthens to include the school's instructors, Vietnam War
protesters, and members of Andy Warhol's entourage, one art student
is ultimately painted as the murderer. The only problem: the
suspect has vanished. Why would an art student murder Benton? And
if he were innocent, why would he run? When TJ Fitzgerald, son of
Detective Juanita Diaz and Captain Brian Fitzgerald of the NYPD,
discovers his classmate is the prime suspect, he uses his own
investigative skills to try and clear his name. But as TJ and his
girlfriend work to unravel the clues to the art mystery, he begins
to wonder if the police got it wrong and one secret may be the key
to it all... Helen Harrison's An Artful Corpse is a clever mystery
sure to please art enthusiasts and armchair detectives alike.
