Jilly Cooper explores the art world – where successful young artists strut around like rock stars and where the more beautiful the painting, the greater the backstabbing. And few pictures are more beautiful than Raphael’s "Pandora", a painting which dominates the lives of the Belvedon family.

          The painting is stolen. The hunt to retrieve it takes the reader on a thrilling journey to Vienna, Geneva, Paris, New York and London. After a nail-biting court case and a record-smashing Old Masters sale at Sotheby’s, passionate love triumphs and Pandora is restored to her rightful home.
