His life is inconspicuous--mornings spent brushing at a canvas, afternoons idling in the cafes, and evening talks with his friend the town priest over a glass of brandy. Yet there are other sides to this gentleman's life: Clara: the young student who moonlights in the town bordello. And another woman who arrives with $100,000 and a commission, but not for a painting of butterflies. With this assignment returns the dark fear that has dogged Signor Farfalla's mysterious life. Almost instantly, he senses a deadly circle closing in on him, one which he may or may not elude. Part thriller, part character study, part drama of deceit and self-betrayal, A Very Private Gentleman shows Martin Booth at the very height of his powers. 650 0 Painters|vFiction. 650 0 Deception|vFiction. 650 0 Butterflies in art|vFiction. 651 0 Italy|vFiction. 655 0 Psychological fiction. 655 7 Suspense fiction.|2lcgft 730 0 American (Motion picture : 2010) 954 20120801|bMarcive Authority Bib 956 pfsw 956 pfsw 957 OCLC xref loaded 20140914 964 PFA PR6052.O63V47 2010. |bCAT/A 994 C0|bCUY
