First edition. Inscribed "what have you got against chickens? They're ugly." Fine in dust jacket. Curator Chris Norgren heads to Berlin to help mount a sensational exhibit of priceless works once thought to be lost. But the occasion turns chilling when Chris' boss, after sensing a forgery in the lot, turns up dead outside a Frankfort brothel. Now Chris faces two near-impossible tasks ... locating the fake painting among the masterpieces, and finding the killer.
