This suspenseful tale trails heroine Anne Petrescu as she tracks the legendary Van Gogh painting, a rare self portrait with his bandaged ear. The owner of the painting, Lady Victoria Wentworth, is brutally murdered at her estate.

False Impression Excerpt Victoria stared up at a woman she had never seen before. She was young, slim, and even shorter than Victoria. She smiled sweetly, which made her appear vulnerable. Victoria returned her smile, and then noticed she was carrying a kitchen knife in her right hand. ‘Who—’ began Victoria as a hand shot out, grabbed her by the hair and snapped her head back against the chair. Victoria felt the thin, razor-sharp blade as it touched the skin of her neck. In one swift movement the knife sliced open her throat as if she were a lamb being sent to slaughter. Moments before Victoria died, the young woman cut off her left ear. ©2006 Jeffrey Archer Published with permission
