A gallery under pressure

Fabian Tulley’s attempt to run an art gallery in London’s Mayfair becomes a fight to protect his livelihood when he is accused of selling a fake painting and a series of further threats and acts of damage follow. The trouble reaches beyond the gallery, from a sale at Cheltenham Racecourse to pressure on his clients and lease. Sid Halley joins the investigation as Fabian tries to establish who is targeting him and save his business. Art-world disputes, racecourse settings and a threatened small enterprise bring the crime thriller’s strands together.

Book overview

When an art dealer's misfortunes start to look premeditated, Sid Halley is back to investigate in the next Dick Francis novel--perfect for fans of Harlan Coben.



Forty-nine-year-old Fabian Tulley is only trying to run his own art gallery in London's Mayfair in peace. But someone seems determined to ruin his life. Accused of selling a fake Alfred Munnings painting, he is unable to prove his innocence because the police are holding the piece as evidence. While running a retail sale at Cheltenham Racecourse, some of his other paintings are vandalised. Then, a couple of men try to run him down in the racecourse parking lot.



To make matters even worse, his clients are being threatened to stay away from his gallery, and his landlords are trying to cancel his lease. Everything is against him, but with someone threatening his life's work, Fabian is determined to fight back.



With the help of Sid Halley, saving his business will prove to be the fight of his life.
