Ethan Muller is struggling to establish his reputation as a dealer in the cut-throat world of contemporary art when he stumbles onto a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: in a decaying New York slum Victor Cracke an elderly tenant has disappeared leaving behind a treasure trove of original artwork. No one knows much about Cracke except that he lived a solitary life for nearly 40 years his genius hidden. And that is about to change.
Ethan mounts a wildly successful show at his gallery. Buyers clamor. Critics sing. Museums are interested and Ethan's photo looks great in the New York Times. Then everything begins to unravel. It seems that Victor Cracke has a nasty past and the drawings hanging in the Muller Gallery might just be evidence. Is Cracke a genius a murderer or both? Sucked into an investigation four decades old Ethan will uncover a legacy of shame and death - one that touches horrifyingly close to home.
