Publisher Description
Once Chase Malone waged war. Now he creates beauty, living as a reclusive painter in Mexico. Until a rich man hires Chase to do his wife’s portrait. And Chase finds out what beauty is really all about… Derek Bellasar is an international arms merchant who lives in a fortress-like mansion on the Riviera. Sienna is his wife and the woman whose incredible beauty Chase Malone must somehow capture on canvas. There’s only one problem: Every time Bellesar has one of his wives painted, she dies. Suddenly, Chase is fighting a one-man battle against Bellasar and a private army of highly trained killers. At stake is Sienna’s life — and more. Because the CIA has been using Chase to keep a blockbuster biological arms deal from going down. And with a man’s evil threatening to devastate the world, Chase Malone must save a woman, save his life, and practice the art of war…

"As an artist this is one of my personal favorites from David Morrell. His descriptions of egg tempura painting made me look into trying out the technique myself. Not light hearted by any means, none of his are, but this one had a particular beauty to it."

" Enjoyable late work by Morrell, who seemed to get sloppy and run out of ideas in his later work. "

" An arms dealer wants his hotty wife's portrait done up before she's replaced by number four. The artist he chooses is an ex-marine helicopter pilot who doesn't like his buttons pushed. I don't think anyone really won in this tale! Cool ride... "
