Art, ambition, and a staged crime scene

Set in Manhattan’s gallery world, the novel links an artist’s resentment over his lack of recognition to a murder staged with deliberate attention to art history. Lieutenant Eve Dallas’s investigation begins at the home of two gallery owners, where a young woman has been posed to resemble a model in a Dutch master’s painting. The premise brings police procedure into contact with questions of artistic status, public recognition, and the power collectors hold in shaping careers. The large-print edition presents the mystery in 384 pages.
