Synopsis
World-famous violinist Irving Bradley is used to paying for the best in life. So when his old violin teacher is killed in a hit-and-run accident, he ignores the police and hires Ken Scott— the father he was brought up to hate — to track the killer down.
Offered a priceless Stradivarius violin in exchange for an Impressionist painting bequeathed to him by the old lady, Irving cannot resist doing the swap.
Ken, a former MI5 man, is convinced the picture is the key to the killing.
But why should it be so important to Sir Terence Savage, a friend of the Royal Family?
Was its once beautiful owner a Resistance heroine, tortured by the Gestapo, or a traitor working for the Germans?
And how does this tie in with her death fifty year later?
As Ken uncovers a haunting story of forbidden love in Nazi- occupied Paris and the brutal horror of post-Liberation vengeance, Savage is revealed as a man who will stop at nothing to protect the secret of the greatest art theft of the twentieth century.
And when Savage's sadistic minder takes the women in their life hostage, Ken knows they will die, unless he and Irving have the courage to kill first ...

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Irving Bradley, international star of the concert platform, is used to having the best in life and paying for it. So when his old violin teacher is killed by a hit-and-run driver, he hires Ken Scott - the man he was brought up to hate - to track down the killer. As an M15 veteran, Ken knows that the death was murder but cannot convince Irving, who swaps the old woman's legacy, an Impressionist painting, for a Stradivarius. But the painting turns out to be Nazi loot from World War II and the violin teacher's identity as false as a spy's legend. Was she a Resistance heroine in Occupied Paris, tortured by the Gestapo, or a traitor working for the Germans? Or could she have been one of hundreds of Soviet agents planted in post-war Britain? And how does this tie in with her death fifty years later? Aided by an ex-CIA man, Erich Hallstatt, Ken and Irving uncover the biggest single art theft of the twentieth century. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR002930964
