‘A lyrical, daring thriller that hurls you into the dark world of art theft with unexpected insights.’
Stephanie Carty, author of Shattered
‘Malby’s novel proves once and for all that thrillers can be both hugely compelling and beautifully written. This is virtuosic storytelling, as vibrant as a Klimt painting, as lyrical as a Viennese waltz, as atmospheric as a Carol Reed film. I loved it.’
Jonathan P Taylor, author and Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing, University of Leicester
