Tale of forgery and murder in the art world from 1971. The delightful old fraud, Jacques Debierue, French founder of the "Nihilist Surrealist" school of painting now hiding out in the Florida swamps where he thoroughly enjoys American TV dinners,drive-in movies,etc. provides oxygen but unfortunately not enough. This would have been way better done by Donald Westlake.
