Peter Mayle: In Pursuit of Cezanne
Camilla Jameson Porter broke into the very top of the glamorous world of the rich as the editor of the fashionable magazine DQ, whose sole purpose is to use pictures and words, with cunningly targeted flattery, to peek into the abodes of the richest and cause envy by showing the luxury of their houses and art collections. Andre Kelly, Camille's favorite photographer, currently on assignment on the Cote d'Azur, dropped by Cape Ferrat hoping to meet the daughter of the extravagantly wealthy Denoyers. Instead of a beautiful daughter, Andre finds an empty house and the family caretaker Claude loading the family's prized Cézanne into a battered plumber's van. That unusual scene will not give him peace for days, it will scratch him incessantly upon his return to cold New York and finally, like an unbearable itch, he will make him scratch himself, that is, in this case, conduct a discreet investigation. Accompanied by his sweet agent Lucy and the pleasant art dealer Cyrus Pine, Andre takes us on an adventure which as a package arrangement includes a visit to all the most beautiful tourist attractions in France, gastronomic dinners in the most elite restaurants, the pursuit of a 30 million dollar canvas and a clash with criminals who stop at nothing. pisca sa stalnim prebivalištem u Provansi.
