Description
Book Synopsis'I really loved The Violet Hour . . . A highbrow whodunnit, and grippingly so, but it's much more than that, building into a meditation on mortality and the unreliable consolations of art, love and materialism'
PATRICK GALE, author of Mother's Boy
'Beauty, money, power, seduction, betrayal. It's all here'
CHLOE ASHBY, author of Wet Paint
'Pulsing with violence and longing, this is a sumptuous, sinister morality tale'
CLARE POLLARD, author of Delphi
'A hugely enjoyable yarn by an author hitting his literary stride'
SARAH LUCAS
'Artists are slaves to their vanity. But in the end, in time, they see things as they really are.'
Thomas Haller has achieved the kind of fame that most artists only dream of: shows in London and New York, paintings sold for a fortune. The vision he presents to the world is one of an untouchable genius at the top of his game. It is also a lie.
