Love of Art & Murder - From Mystic to the City of SteeplesInspired by a True Art Crime
Desire sparks mad ideas when artists and art lovers hope for fortune and fame. Greediness can become villainous, and this dangerous love of art can lead to murder. The City of Steeples - New London, Connecticut
Detective Dan Morrison investigates the death of Marilyn Maroney, who was discovered impaled by the spear of her warrior goddess sculpture after a Dahlia Art Gallery reception. Marilyn's friend Georgi Algarve and Roxanne Samson slyly sleuth through Detective Morrison's investigation as he relies on the 'details of death' provided by the clever and captivating medical examiner, Dr. Angela Storm. Before long, an abduction, stolen art, and a death at a Mystic museum have Morrison and the sleuths seeking to connect the crimes with a motive. Among the glamour of the art world, they discover the gritty underbelly of agents, dealers, buyers, and thieves, and learn of significant profits on art after an artist's death.
Although when a broader connection is made to a Boston museum, the high fame of art brings the sleuths, artists, and villains together, linking them to a world-renown heist and a devious game where the dangerous love of art leads to murder.
