Publisher's summary

“Soon to be the basis of a hit Brit flick (if I have anything to do with it).” (Nick Moran, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels)

"The world’s No.1 art forger, David Henty, and the world’s most prolific forger, Billy ‘The Brush’ Mumford, come together once again, this time in a glorious crime caper that’s the stuff of fiction… or is it?" (VICE)

“A crime caper that will surely pass into the realms of the classic, but actually there’s serious insight too, into the art world underworld, which is nothing less than fascinating.” (Shani Struthers, best-selling author of the Psychic Surveys series)

"David Henty is every bit as adept with words as he is with his brush and palette." (Peter James, best-selling author of the Roy Grace Detective series)

Master Forger David Henty has a problem: a forgery he painted is rejected and suddenly he owes a murderous, blind, female Japanese gangster £5 million.

When private detective Tony Aries contacts Henty and asks him to help find a priceless, long-lost painting by Henri Matisse that Aries believes was forged by Henty's old friend, fellow master forger Billy "the brush" Mumford, Henty senses an opportunity to dupe Aries and raise the millions he owes the Yakuza. However, Mumford operates in the shadows and disappears after being released from his latest stretch in jail.

A thrilling ride through the art world's underworld ensues as Henty and Aries hunt for Mumford and the missing Matisse. It leads them into Mumford's shadowed past, and to Rome and London where they're pursued by the Russian mafia and Italian gangsters as well as the Japanese Yakuza in a quest that blurs the real with the imaginary.
