Camilla Jameson Porter has climbed to the top of international magazine publishing, by sticking to her maxim, 'Never ever say a nasty word about anyone. With the liberal use of well-aimed flattery, she gains access to some of the world's most exquisite houses. These feature in her New York magazine, Decorator's Quarterly, or DQ, bringing joy to the proud owners and envy elsewhere.
Andre Kelly, Camilla's favourite photographer of houses and treasures, is working on a shoot in the south of France when he stumbles on a curious sight: a Cézanne being removed from a villa and loaded into a local plumber's van. After some preliminary investigations, he starts to uncover a scheme involving an international art fence, a gourmet forger and a former Foreign Legionnaire with violent habits. Teaming up with his agent, Lucy, and sharp-eyed Manhattan art dealer Cyrus Pine, Kelly sets off on a chase through France as the mystery unfolds.
Following his hugely successful French thriller Anything Considered, Peter Mayle, author of A Year in Provence, takes us from New York to Paris, Aix and Cap Ferrat in search of a $30 million masterpiece, introducing us to a rogues' gallery of wonderful characters in his pacy, colourful and exhilarating new novel.
