Murder at the National Gallery

“Powerful . . . Fascinating . . . Truman absolutely amazes.”—Atlanta Journal & Constitution

When the senior curator at Washington's famed National Gallery finds a missing painting by the Renaissance master Caravaggio, he mounts a world-class exhibition—and plots a brilliant forgery scheme that will stun the art world.

“A thrilling chase.”—Publishers Weekly

But an artful deception suddenly becomes a portrait of blackmail and murder—as gallery owner and part-time sleuth Annabel Reed-Smith and her husband go searching for clues in the heady arena of international art and uncover a rare collection of unscrupulous characters that leads all the way to Italy.

“Highly recommended . . . One of [Margaret] Truman's best.”—Booklist
