Publisher's Synopsis
A 'new' Matisse painting has been unearthed, but is it genuine? Dr Whitby is probably the best qualified person to advise on that issue.
Who is the subject of the painting, and how did it get to where it was found? The answer to that one restlessly lurks somewhere in the fog of history.
Who now claims to be its rightful owner? And to what lengths would a person go to attain possession of something so potentially valuable?
And will recently-widowed Sybil succeed in kick-starting her new life, starting with a jaunt to Nice's winter carnival?
But perhaps the most pressing question of all, is... who killed Dr Whitby?
An entertaining whodunnit set against the beautiful backdrop of Nice in the South of France. Don't be surprised if you spot one or two familiar characters.
