O knihe

New York, 1893, and society portrait painter Piero Piambo feels his artistic ambition waning, even while he immortalizes the city`s nouveaux riches in oil paints. But then he receives a bizarre and lucrative commission, to paint the mysterious Mrs Charbuque. The catch is that he is not allowed to see her, and so Piambo sits before a screen as his sister tells him of her life, dreams, and fears - clues from which he must divine her appearance.
As he works, a series of murders plagues the city - death that at first seem accidental. And, as Piambo`s masterpiece takes shape, his relationships with Mrs Charbuque grows ever more tangled...while her deranged husband becomes hell-bent on some inexplicable vengeance.
