The Fourth Stage of Gainsborough Brown — Clarissa Watson

ARTISTS IN CRIME ...

The fourth stage of Gainsborough Brown's career is murder. The first three had been purely artistic, for the flamboyant Brown, found dead in the swimming pool of a Long Island estate, was a very famous painter. The verdict is accidental death. But Persis Willum, Brown's friend and herself a painter, disagrees, putting her own life in jeopardy when she spots the one telltale clue that nobody else had noticed.
