A synopsis for a debut novel, set to be published in the next few days:

John Grande, a struggling London art dealer, is thrown what he thinks is a lifeline when he is given the opportunity of handling a collection of rare masters, housed in a villa above the cliffs of Positano in Italy. There, on the beach, he briefly encounters Laura Buckley, the glamorous producer of New York's most prestigious TV news programme. Neither could know that their lives were to become linked in a terrifying web of intrigue and deceit. Set on both sides of the Atlantic, :? 's debut novel is an ingenious fast-paced thriller with an intriguing cast of characters reaching the highest level of office. All are being controlled and manipulated by a powerful, evil man seeking revenge for incidents reaching back to World War Two, involving art thefts, possible Nazi collaboration and murder... his actions prove to be explosive.

...whose, do you think?

Ah, rather sadly, I know this. I will keep schtum for a bit though so as not to ruin the surprise for everyone else.

He's bald though, isn't he? Still, I am surprised it's being published with that smilie in the middle of it...

Clearly someone who's been on holiday to Positano at some point. I know this one. Are we meant to say?

It has received some pretty poor reviews, which anyone who wants to can read here (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/3242959.stm).

For a moment there, I thought it was your own, Wavid. It would have been pretty good going, as just the other day you were wondering about contacting agents etc. Then I remembered seeing _______ on the telly promoting his book. I guess he needs something to do, now he's got more time on his hands, but I would have thought writing for the Hate Mail was more his style.

Come on people, you must know who it is by now!
