Feint of Art:: An Annie Kincaid Mystery

Feint of Art:: An Annie Kincaid Mystery

At ten, painting a perfect Mona Lisa made Annie Kincaid a prodigy.Â A similar copy at seventeen made her a crook.Â Lesson learned: genuine art is priceless, and forgery gets you arrested.Â Now Annie puts her artistic talents to honest use as a faux finisher in San Francisco. But her past may not be painted over as well as she thoughtâ€¦
Â
Annieâ€™s got bad news for her ex-boyfriend, curator Ernst Pettigrew: the snooty Brock Museumâ€™s new fifteen-million-dollar Caravaggio painting is as fake as a three-dollar bill.Â And the same night Annie makes her shattering appraisal, the janitor on duty is killedâ€”and Ernst disappears. To top it all off, a well-known art dealer has absconded with multiple Old Master drawings, leaving yet more forgeries in their places. Finding the originalsâ€”and pocketing the reward moneyâ€”will get Annieâ€™s new landlord off her back. But it could also draw her into the underworld of fakes and forgers she swore sheâ€™d left behind, starting with a close encounter with a changeable but charming art thiefâ€¦
