Summary
Summary
Bestselling author and president's daughter Margaret Truman escorts readers through the corridors of power and privilege that riddle the nation's capital. With this artful mystery, she paints a stunning portrait of obsession and deception, blackmail and murder in the pretentious world of fine art. The National Gallery is making lavish plans to display some of Italy's most treasured masterpieces by Caravaggio. When the White House asks local gallery owner Annabel Reed-Smith to help smooth the negotiations with the Italian government, she jumps at the chance. But the prestigious assignment soon pits Annabel and her law professor husband against a cast of unscrupulous characters, from Washington's colorful art community to Italy's smoldering underworld.
Margaret Truman's delicious wit and Richard Poe's insightful performance reveal Washington society with all its strengths and weaknesses.
