"A clever and complex tale of art fraud, theft, scandal, murder, and revenge." Publishers Weekly In this surprising, noirish pageturner, B. A. Shapiro once again takes readers into the world of art, glamour, and mystery. Accused of helping her fiance steal her familys fortune and her fathers art collection, Paulien Mertens has fled to France. To protect herself from the law and the wrath of those who lost everything, she has created a new identity. Paulien, aka Vivienne, takes a position working for an American art collector modeled after reallife eccentric museum founder Albert Barnes and quickly becomes caught up in the 1920s Paris of artists and expats, including postImpressionist painter Henri Matisse and writer Gertrude Stein. From there, she sets out to recover her fathers art collection, prove her innocence, and exact revenge on her exfiance. B. A. Shapiro has made the historical art thriller her own, and once again she gives us an unforgettable tale about what we seeand what we refuse to see.
