from the cover:

"For Francis, life with David grows more dangerous by the day. When sober, he is charming, but when he drinks, he is violent, slashing Francis's paintings and threatening to gut the painter, too. When David leaves London for Morocco, Francis cannot help but follow this man whom he loves but can no longer trust. In Tangier, they find a thriving community of expats who guzzle champagne while revolutionaries gather in the desert.

After Francis identifies a friend's Picasso as a fake, the police call him in to investigate the forger's demise. If he refuses, they will throw David in jail, where inmates and the DTs will kill him within the week. Between the bustle of the city and the emptiness of the desert, Francis finds that, in Morocco, even the fakes can be worth killing for."

OK, so the supporting characters in these books are aooarently barely supporting characters. These are definitely solo jaunts for Francis Bacon. It feels a bit like Janice Law just pulls in the people around him as catalysts when she needs something to happen, rather than as people in their own right. Still a fun ride but I wish there was more development.
