The Salt Canvas (Alice Alcott Mysteries, Band 3) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The last thing Alice Alcott expected to find in a Cornish harbour town was a body at the foot of the harbour steps.

She has come to Tregarrow to settle one small question before a painter's catalogue goes to print: is the picture that has hung above the till in the quayside café for forty years really by Ruth Trevail? Win Tregear, the painter's sharp-tongued former assistant, thinks so, and says so loudly. That evening she asks Alice to come and see her in the morning. Alone.

By morning Win is dead, and the tide has been and gone.

The police say an old woman slipped. But a sketchbook is missing, somebody has tidied a dead woman's drawers in the dark, and a colourman's stamp on the back of a famous painting is telling Alice something nobody wants to hear.
A stand-alone cosy mystery of paint, tides and small-town secrets, where the truth is always on the back.
