viii, 306 pages ; 22 cm."In the west end of London, an apparently crazed individual is on the loose, breaking into art galleries and private homes to slash valuable paintings of women. Despite Scotland Yard's best efforts, the criminal remains at large and continues on his destructive path. When Joanna and the Watsons are called in to solve the mystery, they soon discover that although the canvases have been slashed, their backings remain pristine, with no cuts or scratches. The criminal, it seems, is no mere vandal-he's searching for something hidden behind the portraits. Suspicion soon falls on two skilled art restorers who previously worked at the gallery where all the vandalized art was purchased. When Joanna finds the body of one in a bricked off fireplace at the gallery, the other is left as the prime suspect. But then he's discovered dead as well. Luckily, Joanna has a plan for ensnaring the criminal once and for all. But it must not fail, or more paintings-and lives-will be lost"--The vandal -- Hawke and Evans -- Felix Dubose -- Johnny -- Albert Dubose -- The art historian -- Cholera -- The Countess -- Strange symptoms -- The rumor -- The lockpicks -- Delvecchio -- Scotland Yard -- Wormwood scrubs -- Two vandals -- The exhumation -- The Stewart Gallery -- The hiding place -- Dubious identification -- An unexpected visitor -- A near miss -- The wife -- An unseemly source -- A violent break-in -- Setting a trap -- The National Gallery -- The masterpiece -- All the evidence.Leonard Goldberg.e-uk-en(Fictitious character)Blalock, JoannaFiction(Fictitious character)Watson, John HFictionHolmes, Sherlock(Fictitious character)Watson, John H 1900-1999 fast 3277 Women private investigatorsEnglandLondonFictionArtMutilation, defacement, etcFictionMurderInvestigationEnglandLondonFictionFathers and daughtersFictionNineteen tensFictionFathers and daughtersFictionFemmes détectivesAngleterreLondresRomans, nouvelles, etcArtMutilationRomans, nouvelles, etcMeurtreEnquêtesAngleterreLondresRomans, nouvelles, etcPères et fillesRomans, nouvelles, etcAnnées dix (Vingtième siècle)Romans, nouvelles, etcFICTION / Adaptations & PasticheFICTION / Mystery & Detective / HistoricalFICTION / Mystery & Detective / TraditionalFICTION / Mystery & Detective / Women SleuthsNineteen tensArtMutilation, defacement, etcBlalock, Joanna (Fictitious character)Fathers and daughtersManners and customsMurderInvestigationWomen private investigatorsBlalock, Joanna (Fictitious character)FictionWomen private investigatorsFictionHomicideFictionFather-daughter relationshipFictionWest End (London, England)Social life and customs20th centuryFictionGreat BritainHistoryGeorge V, 1910-1936FictionGrande-BretagneHistoire1910-1936 (George V)Romans, nouvelles, etcGreat BritainEnglandLondonEnglandLondonWest EndLondon (England)Social life and customsFictionGoldberg, Leonard S9781250224200125022420997812502698121250269814202000130020011720230413114911.01137206579
