"In his new novel, Peter Mayle takes us on a guided tour of the international art scene. There are stopovers in the south of France and England, and in New York, where that glossiest of magazines DECORATING QUARTERLY, reflects the cutting-edge trendiness of it editor, Camilla Jameson Porter. It is Camilla who has sent Andre Kelly to Cap Ferrat to take glamorous photographs of the houses and treasures of the rich. With his camera at the ready, he spots a Cezanne being loaded onto a plumber's truck near the home of an absent collector. In no time Andre's on the trail of a state-ot-the-art art scam. A wild chase through galleries, homes of prominent collectors, and wickedly delectable restaurants, CHASING CEZANNE leads us to territory that Peter Mayle has staked as his own - the realm of madcap adventure and searing wit. "Mayle's touch is always deliciously light." (People) [from case]
