Amazon.com Review
Add James Bradberry's name to that short list of writers who can create excellent mysteries set in the art world. The trick is to balance the expertise and obvious love of the subject with a story strong enough to carry along even those readers who think of art mostly as expensive wallpaper. Bradberry's Jamie Ramsgill is an architect and teacher who is in Philadelphia to apply for a job with a top firm and to try to bond with his irritating older brother. When the head of the firm in question disappears, and Ramsgill's sister-in-law uncovers an unknown painting by Thomas Eakins with scandalous overtones, the two events come together in a deft and enjoyable burst of puzzlement. Bradberry's previous Ramsgill book, The Seventh Sacrament, is available in paperback.
