Description
Theo Decker is thirteen when a bombing kills his mother. He survives, abandoned by his father, and taken in by a wealthy friend's family. Bewildered by his new life on Park Avenue, tormented by grief, he clings to a small painting that reminds him of her. This object draws him into an insular art community. As an adult, Theo moves between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty labyrinth of an antiques store. He is alienated and in love, at the center of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle. This novel is a haunted odyssey, a drama of enthralling force. From the streets of New York to the dark corners of the art underworld, it examines the devastating impact of grief and the ruthless machinations of fate.
