Reviews
"Boston art collector Clayton Reed's agent, Fred Taylor, tries to assist a man at the airport who suddenly keels over dead. When Fred reaches home, he's still clutching the man's newspaper which happens to conceal part of an exquisitely painted 15th-century illuminated manuscript. Clayton, of course, wants the piece for his collection, but Fred first wants to investigate the dead man and the manuscript. His search takes him through loose-lipped booksellers, unethical art dealers, and more. Effective prose, fascinating subject matter, and a sometimes cynical look at the art world combine in an intriguing read."

"Lazarus, Arise...is an art lesson in old Bibles, and a lesson in principles. Doing the right thing is good, but how do you know what the right thing is
That question, and Fred's adventures in finding the answer, makes this book a real page-turner. Read and enjoy!"
