书籍简介

“巧妙的情节，令人难以抗拒的可读性，充满了关于盗窃、伪造和谋杀的高风险艺术世界的信息……还包括作者出色地绘制的图画，他既是一位多才多艺的艺术家，也是一位作家。 悬疑惊悚片。” ——乔伊斯·卡罗尔·奥茨

多年来，一直有传言称梵高在去世前完成了一幅自画像。 策展人和艺术史学家对这个流言很感兴趣，希望它能揭示这位陷入困境的艺术家的许多秘密，但即使他们也不得不承认，这幅失踪的画很可能永远丢失了。

但是，当艺术家卢克·佩罗内（Luke Perrone）（蒙娜丽莎偷窃者的曾孙）和臭名昭著的艺术品窃贼的女儿亚历克西斯·维德（Alexis Verde）发现了可能失踪的肖像时，他们陷入了史诗般的艺术谜题。 几天后，这幅画再次消失，他们与国际警察组织特工约翰·华盛顿·史密斯重聚，进行危险而致命的搜查，这不仅会揭露艺术家末日的秘密，还会将他们带入历史上黑暗的时代之一。

在颜料和画布之下，在美丽和传说之下，艺术品已经与某种邪恶的东西联系在一起，这种东西在黑暗的网络和地下艺术世界最阴暗的走廊上继续蓬勃发展。

《失落的梵高》在卢克·佩罗尼对这幅画的危险搜寻和被盗艺术品和被盗生命的历史之间交替，是一部错综复杂、层次分明的历史惊悚片，非常适合《夜间肖像》的粉丝。

"Ingeniously plotted, irresistibly readable, brimming with inside information about the high-stakes art world of theft, forgery, and murder...Also included are brilliantly rendered drawings by the author, who is as accomplished an artist as he is a writer of suspense thrillers." ―Joyce Carol Oates

For years, there have been whispers that, before his death, Van Gogh completed a final self-portrait. Curators and art historians have savored this rumor, hoping it could illuminate some of the troubled artist's many secrets, but even they have to concede that the missing painting is likely lost forever.

But when Luke Perrone, artist and great-grandson of the man who stole the Mona Lisa, and Alexis Verde, daughter of a notorious art thief, discover what may be the missing portrait, they are drawn into a most epic art puzzles. When only days later the painting disappears again, they are reunited with INTERPOL agent John Washington Smith in a dangerous and deadly search that will not only expose secrets of the artist's last days but draws them into one of history's darkest eras.

Beneath the paint and canvas, beneath the beauty and the legend, the artwork has become linked with something evil, something that continues to flourish on the dark web and on the shadiest corridors of the underground art world.

Alternating between Luke Perrone's perilous hunt for the painting, and a history of stolen art and stolen lives, The Lost Van Gogh is an intricately layered historical thriller perfect for fans of The Night Portrait.
