Description:
<DIV><B>An American museum curator in Berlin must find a fake painting—and a real killer—in this mystery from the Edgar Award–winning author of <I>Switcheroo</I>.</B><BR />  <BR /> Chris Norgren, museum curator and Renaissance art expert, heads to Berlin to assist in mounting a sensational exhibit: The Plundered Past—twenty priceless Old Masters looted by the Nazis, thought for decades to be lost forever, and only recently rediscovered.<BR />  <BR /> But things quickly get out of hand when Chris’s patrician, fastidious boss, after sensing a forgery in the lot, turns up dead the very next day—on the steps of a dismal Frankfurt brothel, of all places. Now, Chris faces a daunting task: finding a counterfeit artwork among the masterpieces—and an all-too-real killer whose sights are now set on him.<BR />  <BR /><I>A Deceptive Clarity</I> is the first in the Chris Norgren Mysteries by the multiple award–winning creator of the Gideon Oliver “Skeleton Detective” novels—a celebrated master who “thoroughly understands the art of the murder mystery” (<I>The Philadelphia Inquirer).</I><BR />  </DIV>
