Em is studying in Utah to be a forensic geologist. A friend introduces her to Tert, who wants her to authenticate a painting to determine if it's fake or not, confidentially of course. Paint pigments are just ground up minerals, and she needs a master's thesis after all. Her investigation takes here from Wyoming, where she's living with a friend to DC to meet with the FBI and Art Museum, and finally near my stomping grounds of Lancaster County, which has a fascinating Mennonite history, where she meets with some Pa experts. Artist paints, before synthetics, were made from heavy metals, which are toxins (and that's why there are so many superfund sites in this area - because the minerals were mined with no precautions and metals dumped into the water). A good read. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Em Hansen, the popular heroine at the center of Sarah Andrews's unique geology mystery series, has landed a new job, although an unusual one: a client affiliated with a museum wants Em to investigate a painting by the famed western painter Frederick Remington. The client believes it's a fake, but Em must explore the painting's provenance to find out. The project takes her through Wyoming, Utah, Washington DC and Pennsylvania, and halfway through the trip Em finds she's also chasing a murderer: someone seems to be slowly poisoning her client's family. Before long, her innocent research project has taken a sinister twist, and it's up to Em to find out what's going on in time to save her own skin. All in all, Earth Colors is another smart, inventive mystery from Sarah Andrews, a fan favorite. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
