I've just finished reading 'A Memory of Bones' by Alex Connor, (author of The Rembrandt Secret and Legacy of Blood), in two days. The book was so good that I was a bit sad when I completed it. Alex Connor has done a superb job to bring the characters to life, making them so believable that it would be hard for the reader to separate fact from fiction. The story is based on the missing skull of Spanish greatest artist Francisco Goya. Here is the summary of book:
The head of Francisco Goya was stolen from his tomb in the wake of his death. No one has ever known what happened to it. Until now. Leon Golding has always been ignored by the art world he loves, but he's finally going to make his name as the man who found the skull of Goya. But he's asked the wrong people to help him prove he's right. Now everyone wants to own the most prized piece of art history ever to come to light ... And they're ready to kill for it.
The head of Goya has been missing for centuries. The most valuable - and dangerous - relic the world has even known.
When the art historian, Leon Golding, finds Goya's skull his rivals gather: a ruthless female collector in New York; an immoral scion of the notorious Ortega family; and a killer hired by the most dangerous man in London.
All of them are after the skull - and the man who has it.
Alex Connor Talks about Goya and Memory of Bones.
