About the Author:
Ruth Brandon is the pseudonym of Marian Silver. She divides her time between London and France and is currently working on her second crime title featuring Dr Reggie Lee. Her works include Other People's Daughters: the Life and Times of the Governess (W&N 2008) and The Life and Many Deaths of Harry Houdini (Pan 2001).
From Publishers Weekly:
Art, war, love and loss all figure in Brandon's enjoyable first in a series featuring art historian Reggie Lee. Recently hired by London's National Gallery, Reggie gets the approval of the museum's director to exhibit a 1605 Caravaggio altarpiece, St. Cecilia and the Angel, along with the two copies the artist made, one of which is at the Getty, the other at the Louvre. When Antoine Rigaut, the Louvre's Italian collection administrator, refuses the loan, Reggie travels to Paris to confront Rigaut, who proves elusive and later turns up dead, an apparent suicide. Reggie eventually locates Riguat's elderly mother, a remarkable woman who holds the key to the complex history of the Louvre's copy of St. Cecilia and the Angel, which was stolen and soon after recovered in 1937. When a third copy of the painting surfaces, Reggie really has her work cut out for her. Brandon is the author of Surreal Lives: The Surrealists, 1917–1945 and other works of nonfiction. (Oct.)

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. 1ST EDITION, 1ST PRINT, SIGNED & LINED BY AUTHOR TO TITLE PAGE. Book as new unread, FINE/FINE condition. Review An art mystery leads an academic to tangled family feuds and baffling deaths.Bewildered by her breakup with her raffish boyfriend Joe, Dr. Reggie Lee dives full-tilt into her new assignment, an exhibition at London's National Gallery of a small collection of Caravaggio masterpieces. She spots an unusual old news clipping that describes the hanging death of young Robert de Beaupre close on the heels of a high-profile Caravaggio theft from the Louvre, which houses one of the Caravaggios she seeks. Another is at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, and the third she hopes to locate. Her trip to Paris unearths more mystery in the recent accidental death of Surrealist painter Antoine Rigaut, who may have been connected to Beaupre. This potential link takes Reggie all the way back to Beaupre's notebooks from before World War I, and through complex political and familial dynamics of more recent decades. Despite an agreement to the contrary, Reggie also contacts Joe on a regular basis, giving the story and her character more dimension. The mystery deepens with the unexpected discovery of a missing Caravaggio. Is one of the paintings a forgery? And is Reggie paranoid, or is somebody following her?Brandon's background in art history (Surreal Lives, 1999, etc.) serves her well in her fiction debut, the first in a proposed series. Her refined prose matches the ornate plot, well-suited to a niche audience. (Kirkus Reviews). Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 002705
