Лучшие книги Марка Миллера

Париж. Лоррен, сотрудница пиар-агентства, тонкая ценительница искусства, едет в Нью-Йорк, где ей предстоит повышение. Неизвестный человек, якобы много лет назад убивший ее отца, шлет ей письма с угрозами, ее жизнь в опасности, но это обстоятельство Лоррен от всех скрывает. Нью-Йорк. Лео, талантливый художник, выходит из тюрьмы, где просидел три года за подделку картин великих мастеров. Покупатели подделок недовольны, и на свободе Лео предстоят крупные неприятности. Конечно, эти двое встретятся. Конечно, им предстоят великие испытания и великая любовь. И конечно, их общая история превратится в головокружительное приключение, потому что их жизни переплелись много лет назад, хотя оба они об этом не подозревают, а угрозы преследователя отнюдь не пусты. Марк Миллер написал романтичную и напряженную историю, в которой смешались любовь, искусство, алчность, тайны происхождения и непредсказуемость судеб. Что еще нужно для увлекательного романа? Знать, кто его написал, — но имя автора окутано тайной. Марк Миллер тщательно оберегает свое инкогнито, и критики, превознося его дебют «Полночь! Нью-Йорк», относительно личности автора теряются в догадках вместе с читателями. Перед вами, таким образом, двойная интрига: история Лео и Лоррен и история автора — и одну из этих историй вы дочитаете до финала на одном дыхании. Впервые на русском!
