"Easygoing wit and dead-on satire.... Mayle is becoming an American Evelyn Waugh.... He virtually establishes a lip-licking new literary genre call it dinnerotica."
-People
With his sixth consecutive bestseller, the unflappable Peter Mayle serves up a delectable novel of glam-our, amour, fine art, haute cuisine, felony, and farce in the South of France and points elsewhere.
His ingredients:
A devilishly clever art scam.
A dashing photographer who gets curious when he sees a priceless Cézanne being loaded cavalierly into a plumber's van.
An earnest young heroine who looks smashing in a beret.
An imperious New York editrix, famous for power-lunching at two tables at once.
Added as well are art dealers crooked and straight, the Rembrandt of all forgers, a meticulous hit man, and the legendary chefs whose lovingly described culinary masterpieces make Chasing Cézanne as delicious as a petit four and as reviving as a glass of pastis.
