When the art historian, Leon Golding, finds Goyaâ??s skull his rivals gather: a ruthless female collector in New York; an immoral scion of the notorious Ortega family; and a killer hired by the most dangerous man in London. All of them are after the skull--and the man who has it.

Sobre o autor

Alex Connor was born and educated in England. Having always had an intense interest in the history of art, Alex--who has previously written historical novels and non fiction--turned her attention to writing conspiracy thrillers set in the art world. These books combine all her passions; art history, painting and thriller writing. All have a fascinating historical back story, combined with a hard hitting contemporary thriller--giving an insiderâ??s glimpse into the art world. Taking some of the most famous names in art--Rembrandt, Hogarth, Goya, Titian etc.--Connor exposes little known facts about their lives and secrets, bringing the Old Masters from the past into the complex and, at times, dangerous world of art dealing in the 21st Century. An artist herself, Connor lives in Brighton.
