About the Book

Two mysterious artist's sketchbooks emerge from obscurity in 1901 but become separated, one in the hands of an illustrious photographer abandoned at birth in 1941, the other discovered by the flamboyant owner of an art gallery after her mother's death in 1992. Two stories, one an elaborate search to unlock the mystery of the sketchbooks, and the second about a family torn asunder. As the stories unfold simultaneously across the canvas of four continents, the shocking truth emerges and the strands of the tangled fates of the two women converge. Nearly a century after the discovery of the sketchbooks their astonishing origin is revealed, changing the lives of the two women forever and rocking the art world like no other art discovery in history.

Review :
"A story of art and abandonment--from the backwater flats of Australia to the steamy streets of Hollywood--comes a mind-twisting mystery of art kept secret from a family torn apart over three generations." --John Ballard, Feature Film Producer, Director, and Author "This can't-put-it-down novel is enthralling and shows a deep knowledge of the art world, its contents and its characters. The mystery of two sketchbooks spans the globe weaving back and forth through time and continents converging every so often with a stunning and tantalizing revelation about the owners. The well-traveled author brings the atmosphere of every place to life, one can smell the frangipani and feel the water." --Cordelia Rose, Courierspeak: A Phrasebook for Couriers of Museum Objects "A luminous story that captures the vitality of early Western Australia and of a riveting hunt for the truth about art lost and found." --Erica Persak, former Asst. Director, National Gallery of Australia
