A Warhol protégé, a Manhattan murder and a long-hidden truth
It is February 1987. Seal Larsen is a photographer, denizen of New York's downtown scene and the subject of one of Andy Warhol's short films. When she dies in a suspicious fall from the 15th floor of her Manhattan apartment building, her friend and neighbor, Emma Quinn, is determined to find out what happened.
A history professor at Columbia University with connections to the intelligence community, Emma soon realizes how little she really knows about her friend. Exploring Seal's life, her work, her past, Emma makes her way down to rural Tennessee, putting herself at risk. It's there, on an isolated 2,000-acre farm, that she begins to grasp the tragedy that defined Seal's life and the truth about her death.
A sequel to The History Teacher, Susan Bacon's award-winning political mystery, The Art Collector is an intrigue, a puzzle, a plot-twister. It is also an exploration of the value of art and the people who make it and of the culture that fueled Manhattan's art boom in the second half of the twentieth century.
