Editorial Review:
The first in a new mystery series starring art-forger-Gone-good Annie Kincaid Annie breaks the news to her curator ex-boyfriend Ernst: his museum's new $15 million Caravaggio is a fake. Then the janitor is killed, Ernst disappears, and a dealer makes off with several Old Master drawings. If she breaks the case using her old connections, Annie can finally pay the rent. But doing so could also draw her back into the underworld of forgers she swore she'd left behind.

Annie frantically tries to: figure out who killed her friend, not do anything too illegal, stay alive, keep her business, get a straight answer from her grandfather, do her job without revealing its criminal underpinnings, all while trying to deal ...

Rating: - Another Great Art Lover's Mystery
This is another great mystery for those who are interested in Art History or Art Collection. Set in San Francisco, one my my favorite cities, Annie Kincaid has quite a bit of work to bury a past riddled in scandal, thanks to an uncle who is an art forger. Annie got enough education from her uncle to open her own business creating faux artwork, and does quite well, if she can just stay out of trouble. This book provides a great snapshot of the world of art theft and forgery, with plenty of shady characters to ... Read More
