Jim Qwilleran, the sometime sports writer, police reporter, war correspondent, winner of Publishers' Trophy and proud owner of a large pepper-and-salt moustache is starting over as art writer. That's what the Daily Fluxion is offering, and middle-aged out-of-work reporters cannot be too choosy. It's not long, however, before the varnish begins to crack on the glossy art world that is Qwilleran's new beat. Soon, he finds the art world to be as tricky as his old crime watch -- and twice as dangerous. When a murderer sticks a knife in the neck of a local gallery owner and goes berserk among the works on show, Qwilleran at first has a hard time sorting out the pieces that have been vandalized from the ones that were meant to look that way. But the picture soon gets even more complicated. The odd thing is, Qwilleran would never have figured it out at all if a certain feline Siamese hadn't adopted him. (UNABRIDGED. 5 CDs. 5.25 HOURS)
