From the author of A Dangerous Duet comes the next book in her Victorian mystery series, this time following a daring female painter and the Scotland Yard detective who is investigating her brother's suspicious death.


A young painter digs beneath the veneer of Victorian London's art world to learn the truth behind her brother's murder...

Edwin is dead. That's what Inspector Matthew Hallam of Scotland Yard tells Annabel Rowe when she discovers him searching her brother's flat for clues. While the news is shocking, Annabel can't say it's wholly unexpected, given Edwin's past as a dissolute risk-taker and art forger, although he swore he'd reformed. After years spent blaming his reckless behavior for their parents' deaths, Annabel is now faced with the question of who murdered him--because Edwin's death was both violent and deliberate. A valuable French painting he'd been restoring for an auction house is missing from his studio: find the painting, find the murderer. But the owner of the artwork claims it was destroyed in a warehouse fire years ago.

As a painter at the prestigious Slade School of Art and as Edwin's closest relative, Annabel makes the case that she is crucial to Matthew's investigation. But in their search for the painting, Matthew and Annabel trace a path of deceit and viciousness that reaches far beyond the elegant rooms of the auction house, into an underworld of politics, corruption, and secrets someone will kill to keep.

Elegant Hand Clutch
Color: Champagne Gold-satin
Phone will indeed fit inside, beautiful to carry or put on the chain, color was a little lighter than I thought champagne would have been; however, it worked very well. Will last for years details were very good.

Ok bags for the price
Color: Cream-woven
Disappointed gold looks cheap. Gold edging is very thin looking. There’s no puff at all to the weave. Returning the one with gold trim. *** Now, for the one that they call White with the silver trim this to me has a nicer look. The white is not a true white so if you’re looking for a true white,as I was, this is not it. It’s more of an off-white creamy tone. Not white as pictured. The silver of the clasp has a slightly aged tone to it. I think it would be prettier if it was a shiny silver, Clasp is nice and smooth to open and close. On both colors. I do think the white is a nice summer bag and could be used casually with jeans and a T-shirt.
