When a Kensington widow inherits a small panel painting, a woman reading a letter by a window in the manner of the Dutch masters, the art world holds takes an interest. Could this be a lost Vermeer, smuggled through two centuries of European upheaval and now come quietly to light in an unremarkable drawing room?
Sherlock Holmes thinks the provenance is too clean. The experts think the craquelure is almost perfect. And a ten-year-old girl named Cecily, who has spent two years copying paintings at the National Gallery thinks the light is coming from the wrong side.
From the fog-bound workshops of Clerkenwell to the posh galleries of St. James's, Holmes and Watson pursue a conspiracy that reaches into the highest chambers of art scholarship. Is this painting a fraud or a genuine masterpiece?
