От издателя
A museum curator travels to Italy and looks into a murder in this "fresh, funny [and] thoroughly enjoyable mystery" by the author of the Gideon Oliver series (Publishers Weekly).
Mild‑mannered and law‑abiding, Chris Norgren, curator of Renaissance and Baroque art at the Seattle Art Museum, is an unlikely undercover investigator, but when a priceless Rubens portrait is discovered in a shipment of "authentic reproductions" in a local warehouse, Chris is pressed into service to find out how it got there. The quest leads him to the medieval city of Bologna, one of his favorite places, but all too soon what might have been a welcome Italian interlude turns into a bizarre journey into shady art world doings and murderous secrets . . .

A Glancing Light
To quote Marc Bolan: “Book after book, I get hooked every time the writer talks to me like a friend.” Aaron Elkins has shown once again through his charm, wit, and intelligence that he is my companion of choice in the realm of mysteries. Chris Norgren, Gideon Oliver, or Elkin’s stand-alone books all feature a brilliant yet kind protagonist, and I am glad to be in the company of a friend, albeit one I’ve never met.
