“Edifying and juicy." —Newsday
"[A] refreshingly original reinvention of artistic history." —Kirkus
Accidents happen. But was this murder?
On the night of August 11, 1956, in the East Hampton hamlet of Springs, Jackson Pollock crashed his car into a tree, killing himself. Pollock, the world-renowned abstract painter and notorious alcoholic, also killed his 24-year old passenger Edith Metzger in the crash…or did he?
Metzger’s autopsy reveals that she was already dead before the crash. Murdered? Perhaps.
This shocking disclosure draws vacationing Detective Juanita Diaz and her husband, Captain Brian Fitzgerald of the NYPD, into a homicide investigation that implicates famous members of East Hampton’s art community, including Pollock himself.
