Picture You Dead (Roy Grace #18)
Checking Availibility...Description
Discover the darkness that lurks around every corner in the eighteenth installment of Peter James's bestselling, award-winning crime series. Now a major television series on Britbox, Grace stars John Simm and Richie Campbell.
Harry and Freya, an ordinary couple, have for years dreamt of finding something priceless buried amongst the tat in a car boot sale. When they buy a drab portrait for twenty pounds for its beautiful frame, planning to cut the painting out. Then, studying it back at home, there seems to be another picture beneath, of a stunning landscape. Could it be a long-lost masterpiece from 1770? If genuine, it could be worth millions.
One collector is certain it is genuine. Someone who uses any method he can to get what he wants.
Detective Superintendent Roy Grace finds himself plunged into the unfamiliar and rarefied world of fine art. Outwardly, it appears respectable, gentlemanly, above reproach. But beneath the veneer, he rapidly finds that greed, deception and violence walk hand-in-hand. And Harry and Freya are about to discover that their dream is turning into their worst nightmare.
