Art, ambition, and a staged crime scene

Manhattan’s gallery world provides the backdrop for a homicide investigation built around a carefully arranged resemblance to a Dutch master’s model. When Lieutenant Eve Dallas reaches the scene at the home of two gallery owners, the victim’s elaborate costume and pose point toward art as more than setting: it is part of the case’s central image. The description also places the crime against a conflict over recognition, with an obscure artist convinced that others have received the acclaim he deserves. The setup brings together a police procedural, the pressures of the art market, and a murder staged to make the city take notice.

Book overview

Death imitates art in the brand-new crime thriller starring homicide cop Eve Dallas from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author J.D. Robb.

Manhattan is filled with galleries and deep-pocketed collectors who can make an artist's career with a wave of a hand. But one man toils in obscurity, his brilliance unrecognized while lesser talents bask in the glory he believes should be his. Come tomorrow, he vows, the city will be buzzing about his work.

Indeed, before dawn, Lt. Eve Dallas is speeding toward the home of the two gallery owners whose doorway has been turned into a horrifying crime scene overnight. A lifeless young woman has been elaborately costumed and precisely posed to resemble the model of a long-ago Dutch master, and Dallas plunges into her investigation.
