A disgraced art expert’s path of salvation leads to grisly murders before redemption.
New improved version honed to near perfection using the helpful notes offered by my fellow hopefuls here. Ok maybe not perfection but it is far more polished.
Thank you to all who have read and commented on it so far. It is gratifying that readers find it exciting.
Overview: A man will do anything if he is desperate enough.
Matthew has fallen from grace as an art expert following a disastrous attribution of a Rubens' cartoon. His only way back is to be embroiled in Lord Marr’s macabre world of deceit. Is the Fresco a genuine work by the master Giotto, does it hold supernatural powers? If not why are people dying such grisly deaths? Matthew’s rationalist journey of salvation leads to uncovering the secrets of the past to understand the threat to the present.
This started life as a horror novel but under the guidance of a publisher has matured into a thriller full of mystery. In other words it is not a "horror" or "supernatural" work.
