Sir Richard White, the director of a major international bank, appears to be losing his mind - so his nephew, Jeremy, calls in old friend, former rugby player and art historian Tim Simpson, to watch over his uncle and protect the family millions. Tim follows Sir Richard to the Italian countryside, where he is busily investigating the history of an obscure Protestant sect, the Waldensians - and demanding that the bank finance his activities. And that's just for starters. Named as an executor of a friend's estate, Tim is also gradually becoming embroiled in a mystery involving a missing painting by the distinguished American artist, Winslow Homer. As it becomes clear that Tim's art knowledge is indispensable to several different people, he begins to find his loyalties torn...The thirteenth in what Library Journal described as 'one of the finest series being written today', Simpson's Homer is John Malcolm's richest, most satisfying novel to date.
