Michael "Butcher" Boone is an ex-“really famous" painter, now reduced to living in a remote country house and acting as caretaker for his younger brother, Hugh. Alone together they've forged a delicate equilibrium, a balance instantly destroyed when a mysterious young woman named Marlene walks out of a rainstorm and into their lives. Beautiful, smart, and ambitious, she's also the daughter-in-law of the late great painter Jacques Liebovitz. Soon Marlene sets in motion a chain of events that could be the making--or the ruin--of them all.

In all honesty, the cover is more of a draw for me than the blurb.

I enjoyed this book a bit, but I found it a bit pointless. If you are an art fanatic, you might like it though. The writing style is sometimes compelling, but overall I wouldn't recommend it.
