<p><b>A savvy art world thriller with a strong, independent heroine and the follow-up to <i>The Appraisal</i>, finalist for the 2018 Staunch Prize.</b></p>

<p>Former Budapest cop Attila Feher would really like to see art expert Helena Marsh again, so he arranges a contract for her to determine whether a painting is a copy of a famous Artemisia Gentileschi canvas or the real thing. A simple appraisal becomes a dangerous assignment when usual eastern European gangsters show up and people start dying and the seething corruption that underlies the lost promise of post-Soviet Hungary swirls to the surface. In a race to get to the truth and to outwit her adversaries, Helena and Attila must solve the mystery of the painting’s origins.</p>

<p>Richly atmospheric, set in Strasbourg, Budapest, and Paris, this witty, sophisticated novel will satisfy readers of political thrillers by Alan Furst and Philip Kerr. <i>Deceptions</i> is a thinking-person’s thriller, a romp to the last satisfying page.</p>
