Harry and Freya,an ordinary couple,dreamed for years of finding something priceless buried amongst the tat in a car boot sale.
It was a dream they knew in their hearts would never come true - until the day it did...
They buy the drab portrait for a few 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 want he wants and will stop at nothing.
Detective Superintendent Roy Grace finds himself plunged into an 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 Kipling are about to discover that their dream is turning into their worst nightmare...
