Artful Murder in the Hamptons

Two-hundred long-forgotten French impressionist masterpieces, stashedaway in the attic of a New York City brownstone, and valued at $1.6billion in the festering Asian art markets. Zach ben Meier, the globallyprominent art dealer, learns of their existence after reading the deceasedpainters memoirs in the musty archives of Paris Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Ben Meier ostentatiously implants himself in the Hamptons; whatbetter blind to steal this quarry of art works. The tendrils of Zachspursuits become complicated. Obstacles emerge everywhere: on LongIsland, in New York City, in Monte Carlo; even on the streets of Paris. He forms a bizarre relationship with Adrielle, a former assassin forcedinto early retirement by the Mossad because of her cloying savagery. Together they fashion and execute a scheme that degenerates into mutualself-entrapment.
