Chasing Vermeer by Blue Balliett
This bewitching first novel is a puzzle, wrapped in a mystery, disguised as an adventure and delivered as a work of art. When a book of inexplicable occurences bring Petra Andalee and Calder Pillay together, strange things start to happen- seemingly unrelated events connect, an eccentric old woman seeks their company, and an invaluable Vermeer painting disappears. Before they know it, the two find themselves at the centre of an international art scandal. As Petra and Calder are drawn clue by clue into a mysterious labyrinth they must draw on their powers of intuition, their skills at problem solving, and their knowledge of Vermeer. Can they solve a crime that has left even the FBI baffled?Hold Tight, Chasing Vermeer (a Novel Sense Book of the Year and an Edgar Award winner), The Wright 3, The Calder Game, and The Danger Box are among Blue Balliett's bestselling and critically regarded mystery novels. She works from her home in Chicago, Illinois, in the laundry room, and her website is blueballiettbooks.com.
