I dragged my captive up against the wall and set about choking him. I was just that much bigger than he was, it was easy. Particularly with the gun turned around now, and sticking into his stomach...

Robert Carbentus's exotic past and claims to own a van Gogh had always fascinated Essington Holt and the chance to meet him was opportune. Curious as to why Robert had broken a thirty-year silence, Essington visits the Carbentus home in Amsterdam, and straight into danger. Is there a priceless van Gogh hidden amongst Robert's possessions? The third tale of Holt - art forger and detective, an Australian in France.

Essington Holt... a brilliant, bitter creation.

The settings... are charming. So is the writing... I'm looking forward keenly to Essington's next outing.
