Death And Still Life

by Drew Launay

The never over-efficient private investigator Adam Flute again fails to avoid trouble when venturing into the milieu of chi-chi West End art galleries. Hired to watch over some valuable paintings, he soon finds that there is more to water-colours and oils than just nudes. A murder, an art raid, disappearing canvases, a blonde, a brunette and a redhead, all help to complicate Flute's investigations, which take him from London to Paris to Rome and the Island of Elba.
