    • Die junge Engländerin Dee und ihr amerikanischer Freund Mike stoßen in Paris auf die Spur eines verschwundenen Meisterwerkes - ein Bild des berühmten Malers Amedeo Modigliani. Aber es machen noch andere Jagd auf die kostbare Beute, und sie schrecken vor nichts zurück. Diebstahl, Betrug und vielleicht Mord sind im Spiel. Und keiner weiß: Gibt es den Modigliani wirklich? Und wenn ja, ist er echt?

    • Parmi les fils de Mark Castallack se trouvent des hommes qui souhaitent sa mort, ce qui ne favorise guère l'harmonie familiale. Mark Castallack possède la femme de ses rêves, une grande fortune et Penmarric, un faux château victorien sur les falaises de Cornouailles, mais sa vie privée est en train de sombrer. Son mariage échoue, et lorsqu'il prend une maîtresse, il se retrouve avec deux familles qui se haïssent. À mesure que le vingtième siècle avance, ses enfants luttent pour sauver non seulement Penmarric, mais aussi eux-mêmes, et leurs luttes sont marquées par la cupidité, l'ambition et le meurtre. Le roman magnifique de Howatch, qui a été son premier best-seller international, est aussi captivant que le classique Rebecca de Daphne du Maurier.
