Fiction Mystery & Detective
A friend in his cigar club asks Antoine Verlaque to visit RenĂ© Rouquet, a retired postal worker who has found a rolled-up canvas in his apartment. As the apartment once belonged to Paul CĂ©zanne, Rouquet is convinced he’s discovered a treasure. But when Antoine arrives at the apartment, he finds RenĂ© dead, the canvas missing, and a mysterious art history professor standing over the body.

When the painting is finally recovered, the mystery only deepens. The brushwork and color all point to Cézanne. But who is the smiling woman in the painting? She is definitely not the dour Madame Cézanne. Who killed René? Who stole the painting? And what will they do to get it back?

Like Donna Leon and Andrea Camilleri, M. L. Longworth’s enchanting mysteries blend clever whodunits with gustatory delights and the timeless romance of Provence. The Mystery of the Lost CĂ©zanne adds a new twist by immersing Antoine and Marine in a clever double narrative that costars Provence’s greatest artist.
