A Perfect Eye
Stephanie Kane
(Author)Description
Some are born with a perfect palate, others with perfect pitch. Lily Sparks was born with a perfect eye. As Conservator of Paintings at the Denver Art Museum, she uses her keen visual powers to restore masterpieces and detect what's authentic and what is not. When the museum's billionaire benefactor is brutally murdered and Lily is dragged into the case, the grisly tableau stuns her: it's the human embodiment of the museum's prized landscape by famed Impressionist Gustave Caillebotte.
Lily comes to believe the Caillebotte was forged and the killer is a painter the art world spurned. But as she confronts where art ends and fraud begins, she must face the deceptions in her own past.
A Perfect Eye is an edgy psychological thriller that stands at the intersection of crime and art. Set in a museum, it also takes an unflinching look at what goes on behind those closed doors.

You wonder why you didn't see the ending coming, which is truly the mark of a compelling and skillfully told mystery."
