About this book

John Sebastian Lafcadio, R.A. -- talvez o maior artista vivo desde Rembrandt! (segundo o que ele mesmo dizia) -- morreu. Mas sua influência não: ele desejava uma fama duradoura na posteridade e deixou instruções para sua mulher Belle exibir um quadro seu por ano, depois da sua morte. [Oito anos depois...] Em "Little Venice", um grupo selecionado de amigos, críticos, convidados e pessoas da família reuniu-se para o grande evento da Exposição do Oitavo Quadro. Ao invés disso foram obsequiados com um chocante assassinato! Apagaram-se as luzes e um rapaz é golpeado e perfurado até a morte. Albert Campion era um dos convidados e com enganadora calma Campion começa a tratar daquele caso desconcertante com uma longa... incrivelmente longa lista de prováveis e improváveis suspeitos. E, de repente, Campion precisará confrontar seu mais terrível inimigo..."Death of a Ghost": Albert Campion Series (Book #6), First published 1934) '-' The first killing took place at a crowded art show, in full view of the cream of London society.
