Product Information

A bitter journalist and troubled art expert risk their lives to find the connection between a legendary painting and a series of rash murders in this "riveting, brutal journey into the high-stakes world of legacy art and inherited wealth" (Denise Mina, author of Conviction ). Thomas Tallis, inspector of provenance, has just arrived in Edinburgh, Scotland, to authenticate The Goldenacre , a masterpiece by iconic Scottish architect and painter Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Still dealing with a miserable divorce and the fallout from a disastrous job in London, Tallis is eager to sign off on the painting and leave. It should be simple, as the painting has been owned by one noble family since the '20s. But then a horrifying parcel arrives on Tallis's desk, and the threatening message is clear: someone doesn't want him inspecting the painting. Now that Tallis sees lives are in danger, he has no choice but to stay until the investigation is complete. Meanwhile, gruesome murders are plaguing Edinburgh. First, a Scottish painter of great renown. Next, an Edinburgh City Counsellor. Battle-hardened newspaper reporter Shona Sandison is on the case, even as her beloved industry shrinks around her. Shona doesn't care who she steps on to get the best story, and she soon uncovers a link between The Goldenacre and the murders. As Tallis's personal crises reach a fever pitch, Shona struggles to enlist his help in understanding how the painting is mixed up in all this violence before either one of them becomes the next victim. Pensive, lush, and tragic, The Goldenacre is a heartbroken love letter to Edinburgh, and an unpredictable, gorgeously plotted mystery to savor.

Reviews
Praise for The Goldenacre A CrimeReads Most Anticipated Crime Book of Summer "This terrific art mystery is as twisty and dark (even a wee bit gruesome in places) as the ''crooked medieval lanes'' and the ''brooding bulk'' of St. Giles'' Cathedral in Edinburgh, where this exceptional novel is set." --Carole E. Barrowman, Star Tribune "One of a kind and loaded with original plotting." -- Toronto Star " The Goldenacre is infused with the grey atmosphere and stylish lingo of its Edinburgh setting . . . [A] complex art thriller." -- CrimeReads "A first-class thriller." -- The Times (UK) "Like its namesake, The Goldenacre occupies its own unclassifiable space, as much a meditation on beauty and loss as it is crime fiction." --Air Mail "Fans of Scottish-Grit crime writer Ian Rankin will love this twisty mystery . . . [The] plot is ingenious, and the atmosphere--both sinister Edinburgh and the embattled newsroom--is brilliantly evoked." -- Booklist "Outstanding . . . In a style recalling the brutal dreariness of le Carré, Miller describes a pivotal character as ''sharp and severe as a snapped bone.'' It''s also an apt description of this biting tale of society in decline. Noir fans won''t want to miss it." -- Publishers Weekly , Starred Review "Superb . . . A prime example of Scottish noir." --Gumshoe Review "Unusual and elegant, Philip Miller''s third novel [ The Goldenacre ] takes the Tartan Noir genre in some new and unexpected directions." -- The Scotsman "This excellent well-plotted noir thriller pits unique characters against the hard-edges of modern life." --Stop, You''re Killing Me! "A riveting, brutal journey into the high-stakes world of legacy art and inherited wealth." --Denise Mina, author of Conviction and the Garnethill trilogy "A pacy tale of crime and deception set in the world of fine art. beautifully written, with a brilliantly vivid sense of place and a killer twist, The Goldenacre is one to savor." --Liam McIlvanney, author of The Quaker "Art, music, politics and murder, set against a backdrop of one of the most beautiful cities in the world--what''s not to love? A complex and compelling plot, with intriguing characters." --Lesley Kelly, author of the Health of Strangers novels "A gritty, propulsive and moving thriller that makes important points about art, wealth and class." --Kirstin Innes, author of Scabby Queen "Phil Miller''s Edinburgh is a city of secrets, an introverted place filled with characters so real in their humanity and yet somehow askew, imbued with the touch of supernatural shadows but also unshakeable goodness. Elegiac, moving, but always richly humane, The Goldenacre is a welcome addition to Scottish noir." --Jackie Copleton, author of A Dictionary of Mutual Understanding, longlisted for the 2016 Women''s Prize for Fiction "Philip Miller''s latest novel is a triumph of plot and character, a whirligig of twists, connections, and secrets written in an engaging and confident style. In the crowded world of Scottish crime writing Miller has carved a unique, thrilling niche for himself by blending hard-boiled journalism and the smiling treachery of the art world. Miller puts the art in Tartan Noir." --Iain Maloney, author of The Only Gaijin in the Village "An intriguing plot . . . Miller is an excellent wordsmith." -- Library Journal "A promising, tear-stained debut." -- Kirkus Reviews, Praise for The Goldenacre "Outstanding . . .
