About this audiobook
When art conservator Alix London spots a forgery, she knows trouble will follow. So she’s understandably apprehensive when her connoisseur’s eye spots something off about a multimillion-dollar Jackson Pollock painting at Palm Springs’s Brethwaite Museum—her current employer.
Alix is already under fire, the object of a vicious online smear campaign. Now the Brethwaite’s despicable senior curator, obsessed with the “maximization of monetized eyeballs,” angrily refuses to decommission the celebrated Pollock piece. But it’s only when a hooded intruder attacks Alix in her hotel room that the real trouble begins. And when FBI Special Agent Ted Ellesworth—with whom Alix had inadvertently, but thoroughly, botched a budding relationship just a year prior—turns up to investigate the Pollock, Alix knows she’s about to have her hands full.
In her third mystery, Alix London must see through mirages in the desert to uncover the knotted history of the painting—and save herself in the process.

With their backgrounds in art scholarship, forensic anthropology, and psychology, Charlotte and Aaron Elkins were destined to be mystery writers. Between them, they’ve written thirty mysteries since 1982—garnering an Agatha Award for the best short story of the year, an Edgar Award for the year’s best mystery, and a Nero Wolfe Award for Literary Excellence, among other honors. The authors revel in creating intensively researched works that are as accessible and absorbing as they are sophisticated and stylish. In addition to writing the first three Alix London mysteries—A Dangerous Talent, A Cruise to Die For, and The Art Whisperer—they are also the authors of the Lee Ofsted golf mysteries, including A Wicked Slice, Rotten Lies, Nasty Breaks, Where Have All the Birdies Gone, and On the Fringe.
