Tim is involved in a case of international trade, exploding houses and a rare Pre-Raphelite painting as he seeks art to satisfy a Japanese investor. The person who alerted him to the painting is an old acquaintance, definitely an old rogue but possibly dead, though as the book continues that looks increasingly unlikely. He also may be involved in a number of other deaths and other crimes, which looks much more likely.
Tim's wife Sue is also drawn into the plot, which ends with the two of them literally in the firing line...
Another good entry in the series with a complicated but reasonably well thought out plot, though the pace can be a bit slow at times.
Some knowledge of art might help though isn't really necessary to enjoy and follow the story, which has some good twists.
