A riveting tour through the international art market, conducted by a smart, funny industry insider.

All it took was a lapse... a momentary lapse... to bring Clementine Jones'' world crashing down. Now she''s living like a hermit in small-town Katinga, coaching the local footy club. She''s supposed to be lying low, but here she is, with her team on the cusp of their first premiership in fifty years - and the whole bloody town counting on her, cheering her on. So why the hell would her star player quit on the eve of the finals? It''s a question she wishes she''d left alone. Others are starting to ask questions too - questions about her. Clem''s not the only one with a secret, and as tension builds, the dark violence just below the town''s surface threatens to erupt. Pretty soon there''ll be nowhere left for Clem to hide.
