The truth beneath
PICTURE YOU DEAD, by Peter James (Macmillan, $37.99)
couple of rather dull, middle-class British bargain hunters, Harry and Freya, like to go to car boot sales. One day, out scavenging for tatty treasures, they come across a truly hideous painting. They buy it for the frame, which may be worth a few quid. The painting is left in a spot where the sun is that the couple take the painting to and are told it could be a long-lost masterpiece by the 18th-century French artist Jean-Honoré Fragonard.
