The Raphael Affair

Iain Pears


Purchase this title at B&N

A very interesting tale of murder, art theft, art forgery, wrapped up with an ironic/amusing ending. How often after reading a book that is filed in the mystery section can you say you learned about art history and forgery?

Set in several locations in Italy, the climax is in Sienna (visited during one of the very rainy days in October - see the travelog from the 15th).

Good stuff.
