Caravaggio's Angel

Dr Reggie Lee, newly arrived at the National Gallery, is putting together a small exhibition around three Caravaggios depicting _St Cecilia and the Angel._ One is at the Getty, one at the Louvre, and she hopes it won_t be too hard to track down the third. But a series of inexplicable obstacles keep getting in her way _ and then, unexpectedly, a fourth Caravaggio turns up. One of them must be a fake. But which?When people start to die, it seems clear that someone doesn_t want Reggie_s show to go ahead. Why, she can_t imagine. But her career is at stake, and she_d damned if she_ll let herself be intimidated and bullied by these unseen forces. So Reggie investigates and her research takes her from Surrealist suicides to shady Italian art dealers, from seventeenth-century painting techniques to modern French politics in a viciously-fought Presidential election year. By the end it seems as though nobody in the opaque and ill-defined world of art can really stay incorruptible _ perhaps not even Reggie herself.
