DEATH OF AN ARTIST: A MYSTERY

Book ID/图书代码： 02330011B50761

English Summary/英文概要： In Kate Wilhelm’s latest crime novel, a small Oregon town is rocked by a wheels-within-wheels case of art, fraud, and murder.

Silver Bay, Oregon, a small coastal resort town with nearly a thousand residents, is home to three generations of women: Marnie, the long-widowed owner of a small gift shop; Van, her granddaughter who is about to graduate medical school; and Stef, mercurial, difficult, and a brilliant artist who refuses to sell her work. When Stef discovers that Dale Oliver—the latest husband/paramour in a very long line—is trying to sell her work behind her back, she puts a stop to it and threatens to do the same to him. Shortly thereafter, Stef dies in an accident in her studio, and Dale shows up with a signed contract granting him the right to sell her work. Convinced that Stef was murdered in order to steal her artwork, Marie and Van—grandmother and granddaughter—decide to do whatever is necessary to see that Dale doesn’t get away with any of it. This includes enlisting the help of the new stranger in town, Tony, a former New York City cop, who might be the only one who can prove it was murder and bring the killer to justice.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在Kate Wilhelm的最新犯罪小说中，俄勒冈州的一个小镇不断地发生着欺诈与谋杀。

俄勒冈州的银湖湾是一个只有近一千居民的海滨度假城市，也是祖孙三代人的家：Marnie，拥有一个小型礼品店的寡妇；Van，她的孙女，即将从医学院毕业；以及Stef，一个性情多变，拒绝出售她画作的古怪艺术家。当Stef发现她的前夫Dale试图瞒着她卖掉她的作品，她阻止并威胁要对他做出同样的事。

不久之后，Stef在她的工作室死于意外，Dale带着一张签署过的合同现身，表明他被授予可以卖掉Stef的所有作品。Marnie和Van认定一定是有人为了偷取Stef的作品而将她谋杀，这与Dale绝对脱不了干系。她们向镇子里的新居民Tony寻求帮助，这位前纽约警察可能是唯一一个能证明这是谋杀，并将凶手绳之以法的人。(兼职翻译-XAT)
