George Sims - The Last Best Friend










Unusual crime novel about antiquarian Ned Balfour who finds out that his friend was murdered, and in unravelling of mystery gets skin deep into shady, decadent and snobbish world of art dealing. George Sims was himself antiquarian and book is full of interesting observations, funny character and peculiar atmosphere of menace.
