Description
GiffordTate, a well-known Falmouth painter, and Edwin Garland, a local businessman, had been inseparable companions until Tate’s death several years ago. Now his paintings are much sought after and each year a work not previously shown is sold at a London gallery. When Garland dies of a heart attack no one is suspicious ? until the evening of the funeral, when his son is shot dead and Chief Superintendent Wycliffe is faced with a seemingly motiveless killing. Then another relative disappears and the most promising clue Wycliffe has is an artists’ pigment called Winsor Blue. He finally identifies the motive behind the crimes ? but is it too late to prevent another death?
