To say that Canadian private investigator Benny Cooperman is a novice in the art world would be an understatement. Nevertheless, he�s hired by Pambos Kiriakis, the manager of Grantham�s poshest hotel, to track down some valuable works that went missing while on loan from a local gallery.

But who would want to kill Kiriakis? And could a painting really drive someone to murder? Benny Cooperman�s a detective with flair.
