The Perfect Landscape

After building a career in the galleries and museums of Amsterdam, art theorist Hanna has returned to Iceland to what she hopes will be a posh new job. Though small, the museum in Reykjavik has a sterling reputation one sure to be burnished by a valuable piece donated by a wealthy patron. Painted by Iceland s most beloved twentieth-century artist, the acquisition is poised to become the jewel of the museum s collection until a conservator announces it s a fake.

Determined to preserve the museum s reputation and bolster her own, Hanna delves deep into the shadowy world of art forgery, where she will discover an unexpected truth framed by a half-century of lies.

Nominated for the 2014 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.
