Summary:  "Chaz Wilmot is a painter born outside his time. He possesses a virtuosic command of the techniques of the old masters. He can paint like Leonardo, Goyo, Gainsborough--artists whose works sell for millions--but this style of painting is no longer popular, and he refuses to shape his talent to fit the fashion of the day. An art dealer obtains for him a commission to restore a Venetian palace fresco by the eighteenth-century master Tiepolo, for a disreputable Italian businessman. Wilnot discovers that it is not a restoration but a re-creation, indeed a forgery. Little by little, Wilmot enters a mirror house of illusions and hallucinations that propels him into a secret world of gangsters, greed, and murder, with his mystery patron at the centre of it all, either as a mastermind behind a plot to forge a painting worth hundreds of millions, or as the man who will save Wilmot from obscurity and madness."--Container.
