Description

This should be the cushiest job Alix Londons ever had.

The second Alix London mystery finds the art restorer in a world brimming with idle luxury, spectacular locations, and deadly intrigue.

Surrounded by art and wealth and the sun-drenched Greek isles, shes aboard a sumptuous mega-yacht with no responsibilities save the occasional lecture to the guests of her temporary employer, Panos Papadakis, one of the worlds richest men. But theres a catch: Papadakis has long been suspected of being at the center of a multi-million dollar Ponzi scheme and Alix is actually there as an undercover operative of FBI special agent Ted Ellesworth, a member of the Bureaus Art Crime Team. They hope Alix can gather the inside information they need to finally put the cagey Papadakis away.

Alixs exposure to the enormous wealth of high-end collectors and the shadier aspects of the art tradethe avarice, naked greed, and ingenious scamssomehow brings her closer to her charming, reformed rogue of a father, and helps crystalize in her own mind just where she fits into the mix.

Moguls, murders, a forged Manet, and the Albanian mafia all play a role and send this pleasure cruise into brutally dangerous waters.

Set on the AegeanHomers fabled wine-dark seawith stops at enchanted islands where ancient legends still live, A Cruise to Die For delivers a witty blend of suspense and mystery, as well as an insiders take on the contemporary art world and its eccentric characters. Its all served up with the style and sophistication with which Charlotte and Aaron Elkins have rewarded mystery readers for the past 30 years.
