Lacey has many of her deceased grandfather’s paintings which she thinks are just super. Susa has agreed to appraise any artwork people bring in, searching for new talent and unknown artists. She realizes the paintings Lacey shows her are the work of a by-gone artist. Then Lacey finds out from her father that grandpa just painted forgeries of Lewis Marten’s works. Throw in fires, a theft, a love story, a death threat, intrigue and various subplots with way too many characters and you’ve got a story that keeps you going to the end. |
