Ex-library stock.

From the back cover:

"Jonathan Argyll has finally done something right - he's sold an overpriced Titian to a well-endowed museum in L.A. Not bad for an art dealer who thinks selling paintings is the most unpleasant part of his job. And never mind that the Moresby Museum is known more for tackiness than for taste. Argyll's just anxious for the deal to be done - and he's come to L.A. to drop off the painting and pick up the check. But it turns out there are a few devils loose in the City of Angels. Like the sneaky art dealer whom Argyll suspects of smuggling a Bernini bust out of Italy. And the museum's imperious owner, who's got a lot more money than sense - and is murdered right before both the smuggler and the bust disappear..."

Taking to the Nottingham meet-up. Will be left on the bookshelf if not taken.

Ooh think this is one I havn't read, picked up at the Nottingham meet.

Another enjoyable art history mystery from Iain Pears.

To be left on the Book shelves in reception
