Forced to sell a painting originally attributed to Rembrandt, debt ridden gallery owner Owen Ziegler must take a loss when the work is said to have been painted by one of the masterâ??s students. But Owen believes he has uncovered evidence of secrets about Rembrandt that are much more explosive than simply a painting of dubious origin--secrets that could turn the art world on its head. And when Owen is found brutally murdered in the gallery, his son, Marshall, is launched on a quest not only to solve the vicious crime, but to uncover the three-hundred-year-old secrets worth killing for.

Creating a centuries-old conspiracy ready to explode with devastating consequences, art historian and author Alex Connor has written an incredible page turner that will keep readers guessing until the very end.

Par autoru

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.
