Eric Van Lustbader 
Art Kills 

From the marbled precincts of New York’s uptown museum scene to the galleries and lofts of Soho to a Mafia mansion on the coast of Long Island, Lustbader’s hotly paced novella sweeps Tess Chase – a no-nonsense woman with a connoisseur’s taste for martial and fine arts – into the perilous pursuit of a long-lost painting by Renaissance master Raphael.
