First in the Italian arthistory crime series featuring English dealer and sleuth Jonathan Argyll, from the author of the bestselling masterpiece An Instance of the Fingerpost. Flavia di Stefano is the kind of Italian beauty that art dealer Jonathon Argyll doesnt normally get to meet in his line of work. But, it turns out, all he had to do was get caught breaking into one of Romes churches for Flavia is the Art Theft officer tasked with interviewing Jonathon. A strange way to meet, perhaps, but then Jonathon has an even stranger tale to tell. His claim that the church contains a lost classic, hidden under another painting, is treated with cautious scepticism. But when the picture first vanishes, then turns up in the hands of a British art dealer claiming its a newly discovered Raphael, its clear theres more to it than meets the eye. When vandalism is followed by murder, its up to Jonathan and Flavia to discover just how much more a quest for the true nature of a painting with a lethal history
