Modigliani was unarguably one of the greatest artists who ever lived, but his missing masterpiece remains either a priceless lost treasure or perhaps a chillingly dangerous game? Up and coming artist Peter Usher is trying to make even a modest mark on the London art scene, but soon finds himself caught up in a race to uncover the shadowy figures behind this breathtaking scam. Will art genius ever be rewarded, and the brush prove more deadly than the gun . . . ?
Originally published in 1976, this first American edition of The Modigliani Scandal, an early Follett art history espionage thriller populated throughout with art, religion, old paintings, art dealers, fraudsters, thieves, and a new introduction by the author.
