Arsenic and Old Paint
#4 of the Art Lover's Mystery series
Now available from Perseverance Press
Former art forger Annie Kincaid has been operating a legitimate decorative painting business for quite a while, but memories are long in the art world. Now, with the blessing of the FBI Art Squad, Annie's using her underworld connections to boost her new art investigation business, where she's partnered with none other than ex-art thief/ love interest Michael X. Johnson. She moves easily between high and low social circles as she makes the rounds of San Francisco and Bay Area locales, including tunnels beneath the pavements of Nob Hill and Chinatown; the homes and hideouts-even a downtown sex club-of the rich and famous; and the artists' studios South of Market. At first it's strictly business: an insurance adjuster asks her to find a stolen (and forged) erotic painting, and her sexy landlord Frank has her track down a missing bronze statue. But when Annie stumbles across a body in an exclusive Nob Hill men's club, and her Uncle Anton is attacked, Annie's on the trail of more than just art. This time, she's looking for justice.
