SUMMARY:Jonathan Santlofer at Harvard Book Store
DESCRIPTION:Harvard Book Store welcomes Jonathan Santlofer—acclaimed artist and author of The Last Mona Lisa and The Lost Van Gogh—for a discussion of his new novel\, Ten Perfect Guests. He will be joined in conversation by Joseph Finder—the New York Times bestselling author of 17 suspense novels. \nAbout Ten Perfect Guests\nFrom acclaimed artist and author of The Last Mona Lisa and The Lost Van Gogh Jonathan Santlofer\, Ten Perfect Guests is a sinister thriller marrying the best of Agatha Christie with the atmospheric and lush settings of The White Lotus and Knives Out. \nA lush tropical island\, ten guests\, and an offer they can’t refuse: attend a weekend memorial for celebrated artist Victor D’Arcangelo or… forfeit your inheritance. \nThe guests: D’Arcangelo’s bitter current wife\, his even more bitter former wife\, his estranged brother\, his gallerist loaded with gambling debts\, a shady European art dealer\, an art collector and scandal-waiting-to-happen pharma heiress\, a failed British musician\, a disgruntled art critic\, a degenerate son and an illegitimate daughter. Each desperate for the inheritance dangled before their hungry eyes. \nWhen they arrive\, D’Arcangelo’s assistant is there to ask them the question on which their fortunes hinge: “How did you help or harm Victor D’Arcangelo?” \nWell-known as a world-class\, world-famous artist\, a genius but a cad\, no one knows exactly what his motive was. Is he manipulating them from the grave? Or is there someone even more sinister pulling the strings? \nAnd the biggest question of all: Who\, if anyone\, will survive the weekend? \nPraise for Ten Perfect Guests\n“A beautiful blend of golden-age charm and modern-day edge – delightful from first word to last.” —Lee Child \n“Smart and amazing. A hallmark of Santlofer’s writing is that the reader learns so much. Not to mention the drawings! All of which makes the novel something special.” —Joyce Carol Oates \n“Devilishly dry\, dark and deadly – this gripping mystery will keep you avidly turning the pages.” —Sophie Hannah \nBios\nJonathan Santlofer is a writer and artist.
