Blurb:: SAN FRANCISCO'S ART WORLD IS EXHIBITING MURDEROUS TENDENCIES.

Geez, make a splash in the world of art forgery at the age of seventeen, and people can't stop bringing it up. Lesson learned: Genuine art is priceless, and forgery gets you arrested. Now Annie Kincaid is putting her artistic talents to honest use as a faux finisher in San Francisco. But carving out a new reputation can be a creative challenge....

Modernism isn't Annie's thing, but even she is surprised to discover that the "sculpture" in a prestigious gallery's grisly new exhibition is an alltoo-real corpse--the artist's. Meanwhile, a Chagall painting is stolen from the Brock Museum, and Annie's old friend Bryan is accused of being in on the heist. To track down the missing Chagall, she'll need the dubious assistance of a certain sexy art thief. And if Michael--or whatever his real name may be-- isn't distraction enough, Annie's mother shows up in town, acting strangely. Annie's got to solve these mysteries, and fast--because art is long, but life can be very, very short.
