Review
Julia, a young Madrid art restorer, is pulled into a shadowy world of metaphor when she discovers a long-covered inscription on a Flemish painting: Who killed the knight? Art, chess and murder are intertwined in this elegant, seductive mystery in the manner of The Name of the Rose.
From the Inside Flap
Julia is a young art expert in Madrid. Her specialty is the restoration of paintings about to go up for auction. But her latest project could also be her last. A fifteenth-century masterpiece, the painting depicts a chess game between the Duke of Flanders and his knight, as a lady in black velvet sits in the background. What makes this project different is the hidden inscription Julia discovers in the corner: Quis Necavit Equitem. Translation: Who killed the knight? Breaking the silence of five centuries, Julia's hunt for a Renaissance murderer leads her into a modern-day game of sin, betrayal, and death--every move calculated with devilish precision. And as the stakes rise, Julia finds herself exposed and vulnerable to attack from everywhere. Unsure whether she is a player or just a pawn, all she knows for certain is that her passion for art has made her an object of deadly obsession. In a mystery of eloquence, wit, seduction, and suspense which marks the debut of a writer Europeans are already comparing to Umberto Eco, the solution is a tour de force of intrigue.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In a 15th century Flemish painting two noblemen are playing chess. One of the men depicted was later murdered. Centuries later, in 20th century Madrid, Julia, a picture restorer preparing the picture for auction, realises that there is a message hidden within it that provides a clue to the ancient murder. The white knight is gone. The white queen is in danger. Pointers lie within the game shown in the painting. As she teams up with a chess master to plot the next move, Julia discovers the game is on and that the mystery is not restricted to the past. The stakes are still high and her own life may be in danger. In The Flanders Panel, with its use of art history and the moves of chess as crucial elements of his plot, Perez-Reverte shows again his ability to combine a riveting narrative with dazzling erudition and intellectual gymnastics. 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 # GOR000969387
