The Scottish Colourist
The second Catrin Sayer mystery.

A retired clergyman collapses in the Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow right in front of the crucifixion painting by Salvador Dali, the ‘Christ of Saint John of the Cross’. It is thought to be natural causes, a heart attack… until the angina medication he took at the time is discovered to be a placebo; it was totally ineffective.

A drug baron in Glasgow searches out the services of a friend of his late father, a man with prior convictions for art forgery… he has a job for him.

Detective Constable Catrin Sayer is nearly a year into her assignment with the Art Crime Unit at New Scotland Yard. The journey north to Glasgow on a new case is tied to the rumour of theft or fraud of paintings by a group of artists known as ‘The Scottish Colourists’. Investigations lead towards a current drug gang operation and, for Catrin, to romance and danger. She is to learn that a moment’s decision can lead to longer-term consequences for her and also strain the relationship between the Scottish legal system and the Metropolitan Police Service.

This is the second Catrin Sayer full-length novel of art-related mysteries. Sayer is ambitious, trying to balance her work as a police officer with her other interests as an artist, a ceramic decorator. And being single and unattached is now also playing on her mind…

Please read also 'The Chinese Sailor' (now available), the first Catrin Sayer novel, and watch out for the next book in the series currently in preparation called 'The Falmouth Model'.
