Reseña del libro "After the Exhibition: A Classic British Mystery set in the 1920S (a Jack Haldean Mystery)"
A church art exhibition turns deadly . . .Art, my dear boy, said Mr Askern, especially sacred art, needs tradition.

Art, she said, her voice scarcely more than a whisper. Art! Oh my God, art!She swayed dangerously. Jack leapt forward, catching her as she fell.Jack Haldean expected Lythewell and Askerns exhibition of church art in Lyon House, London, to be a sedate affair.

Or so it seemed until after the exhibition . . .
