The Modigliani Scandal

Title: The Modigliani Scandal

Author: Ken Follett

Summary: The excellent plot involves a rumor of the existence of a valuable painting, long thought to have been destroyed, and sought by various competitors. A hoax, artists, art dealers, collectors, and forged paintings all are involved - burglars too.

Recommendation: I listened to the audio version, and the plot was sufficiently complex to be confusing at times. With hindsight, I probably would have enjoyed it more if I had read it. This is an early Follett, and my first encounter with him. It perhaps is not as polished as many other mystery writers I'm familiar with, but good enough to continue reading his material.
