The Angel of Death

0/5 ( ratings)

There was just one flaw in John Lang's Handsome Face--his eyes were too cold and expressionless. And it was those eyes which saw in the fabulously wealthy Pierro Fontana and his extraordinary art collection the final boost to Lang's ruthless ambitions. If robbery and adultery were to prove necessary, in these Lang was already an expert...

Thus Lang set into motion a scheme to steal Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting "The Angel of Death." The painting was to prove prophetically named...

"Philip Loraine spins a fine web in this tale." --Kansas City Star
