Hardback. Moncrieff Williamson, Musson Book Company, A Division of General Publishing Co. Limited, Toronto, Canada. Condition remarks:Book: Good Jacket: Wear and tearPages: Good Markings: No markingsA cozy mystery set in the atmospheric world of fine art, Death in the Picture: A Cyrus Finnegan Mystery by Moncrieff Williamson introduces readers to the sharp-eyed and intellectually curious Cyrus Finnegan, an amateur sleuth whose investigations intersect with the rarefied circles of galleries, collectors, and connoisseurs. When a suspicious death surfaces amid the world of paintings and provenance, Finnegan applies his keen eye for detail - honed by a deep appreciation of art - to uncover the deception lurking beneath polished surfaces. Williamson, himself a distinguished art historian and museum director, brings an insider's authority to the narrative, grounding the suspense in authentic knowledge of the art world's rivalries, forgeries, and hidden agendas. The tone is witty yet precise, blending the classic whodunit tradition with a richly textured cultural backdrop that rewards readers who appreciate both a well-crafted puzzle and an elegant prose style.

From the rear cover: The mysteries of the ancients—the builders of such remarkable monuments as Stonehenge, The Great Pyramid of Giza, Machu Picchu and the awesome monoliths of Easter Island—have long been the subject of great fascination to scholars and laymen. Just who were these peoples, the possessors of vast knowledge and impressive technology that rival our own? Why and how did they build these stone monoliths in diverse places all over the globe? And what wisdom do these ancient stones hold for us today? Dr. David Zink, named Explorer of the Year in 1976 by the International Explorers Society and the author of THE STONES OF ATLANTIS, has traveled all over the world to gather data for this new investigation of these age-old mysteries. In addition to the well-known sites mentioned above, he visited such monuments as The Ring of Brodgar in the British Isles, New Hampshire's Mystery Hill, Nuku Hiva in the Pacific and the legendary lost city of Honduras, Cuidad Blanca—twenty-three sites in all. Zink took hundreds of stunning photographs and gathered the latest data on each monument, obtained by radiocarbon dating, archaeoastronomy, statistical analysis—and including in each case the captivating speculations of a talented psychic. The result is a photographic and textual atlas essential for anyone intrigued by these ancient mysteries. THE ANCIENT STONES SPEAK is a remarkable picture of cultures that date from as far back as 30,000 B.C.—cultures with impressive global mobility and advanced knowledge of geography, astronomy, geophysics, engineering and architecture—in some cases equaling or even surpassing our own.
