Keep her he did: in a mansion surrounded by master works of art - a Rembrandt, a da Vinci, a Van Gogh, she has them all. The only problem is that they were "borrowed" from galleries and collectors around the world. Veronica had never sought such illicit treasures and, before she dies, she wants to make things right."--BOOK JACKET. "Can Mrs. Pargeter and her late husband's associates, Truffler Mason, Hedgeclipper Clinton, Hamish Ramon Henriques, and Palings Price, return the paintings? It's like stealing in reverse - returning the works of art so that the owners never know where they have been and how they have reappeared."--BOOK JACKET. "There are, of course, a few troubling details, such as customs inspectors and security systems. There is also the fact that somebody else is after the paintings."--BOOK JACKET.
