Synopsis
Alex Connor's follow-up to The Other Rembrandt once again whips up a riveting mix of art, history...and murder. Could a single scandalous painting rock two British monarchies, centuries apart...and threaten the lives of everyone who knows of its existence? It could--if the painting contains proof of a liaison between a prostitute and a prince.
The evidence, a painting by William Hogarth done in 1732, was supposedly destroyed. But hundreds of years later, on a private jet, Sir Oliver Peters learns that it still exists. Dying of cancer, and desperate to secure his family's well-being, Sir Oliver resolves to find the missing work. But when a fellow passenger who also knows the secret is murdered, he realizes he's battling more than time.

From Booklist
On a private flight to London, intoxicated art-dealer Bernie Freeland makes a stunning revelation to an unlikely gathering of rival dealers, female escorts, and the flight’s crew, disclosing his acquisition of a previously unseen William Hogarth canvas from 1732 depicting Frederick, Prince of Wales, with his prostitute mistress. The existence of the painting, priceless largely because of its threat to the Crown, launches a storm of greed and duplicity that soon turns deadly. Former art dealer (and ex-con) Victor Ballam is hired by an interested party to use his expert knowledge of the art world to find the killer. Quickly realizing that he’s become a target without allies, Ballam knows his survival depends on finding the painting first. Connor (The Other Rembrandt, 2011) puts the painting, the suspects, and Ballam in constant motion, which creates some confusion between the numerous characters and their relationships, but art-thriller fans will happily carry on to untangle craftily intertwined agendas. Match with Paul Malcolm’s Tim Simpson series, Daniel Silva’s Gabriel Allon novels, and the numerous Da Vinci Code read-alikes. --Christine Tran
