Il pittore che visse due volte

Meer over het boek

This is Paling's ninth novel, an unashamed potboiler that tos and fros between the art world present and 100 years ago. In 1912, Reilly, an impoverished artist, seems to be on an inexorable journey to the hangman's noose after a wealth of misleading circumstantial evidence leads the police to believe him guilty of murder. A century on, Samantha is a young secretary and an eccentric loner, until she finds a fellow soul in Reilly's work after viewing one of his paintings; she is drawn into an adventure that soon too puts her on the wrong side of the law.
