The deadliest art

"Michel Danton, the brilliant investigator-hero is back with a vengeance. Badly wounded the summer before, he is getting ready to marry Jennifer Bowen, the beautiful American art professor who saved his life. But then a young girl's disfigured body is washed ashore on the beach of a resort near Aix-en-Provence, and Danton finds himself forced to take charge of a harrowing investigation that leads him from the medieval city of Bruges in Belgium through the glorious sun-dappled towns of Provence, and ultimately to the gothic corners of Venice, California, and the depraved denizens of its lower depths."--Jacket.
