{"product_id":"death-and-restoration-isbn-9780425190425","title":"Death and Restoration","description":"General Bottando can't believe his rotten luck. He has just been promoted--to a position that's heavy on bureaucratic duties-but disturbingly light on investigative responsibilities. As if that wasn't annoying enough, he's received a tip about a planned raid at a nearby monastery. He's relying on his colleague Flavia di Stefano and her art-expert fiancé, Jonathan Argyll, to thwart the plot-but both are beyond baffled. The only valuable item in the monastery's art collection is a supposed Caravaggio that's currently being restored. There are no solid suspects-unless you count the endearing art thief, the flagrantly flamboyant \"Rottweiler of Restoration,\" and the strangely shady icon expert. And there's really no reason to cause an unholy uproar-until someone commits an unconscionable crime...\"Articulate characters and erudite art commentary...high style.\" -\u003cb\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Pears again achieves a delicate, sure balance with a book simultaneously witty and instructive.\"- \u003cb\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003eIain Pears was born in 1955.
