Description

Benny Cooperman, Grantham’s soft-boiled private eye, finds himself mixed up in the art world. More out of water a fish can’t get. After all, Benny only heard of Picasso last year, and now he’s hot on the trail of some missing paintings by Wallace Lamb—a trail that leads him to some of Grantham’s illustrious elite who buy, trade, and sometimes steal pictures. As this private eye soon learns, art can lead to murder—Benny’s own client is found dead and the shoes peeking under the curtains at the scene of the crime belong to Benny!

Book 6 in the Benny Cooperman Mystery series.
