Die junge Engländerin Dee und ihr amerikanischer Freund Mike stoßen in Paris auf die Spur eines verschwundenen Meisterwerkes - ein Bild des berühmten Malers Amedeo Modigliani. Aber es machen noch andere Jagd auf die kostbare Beute, und sie schrecken vor nichts zurück. Diebstahl, Betrug und vielleicht Mord sind im Spiel. Und keiner weiß: Gibt es den Modigliani wirklich? Und wenn ja, ist er echt?

Parmi les fils de Mark Castallack se trouvent des hommes qui souhaitent sa mort, ce qui ne favorise guère l'harmonie familiale. Mark Castallack possède la femme de ses rêves, une grande fortune et Penmarric, un faux château victorien sur les falaises de Cornouailles, mais sa vie privée est en train de sombrer. Son mariage échoue, et lorsqu'il prend une maîtresse, il se retrouve avec deux familles qui se haïssent. À mesure que le vingtième siècle avance, ses enfants luttent pour sauver non seulement Penmarric, mais aussi eux-mêmes, et leurs luttes sont marquées par la cupidité, l'ambition et le meurtre.

Although Truman Capote's last novel was unfinished at the time of his death, its surviving portions offer a devastating group portrait of the high and low society of his time.As it follows the career of a writer of uncertain parentage and omnivorous erotic tastes, Answered Prayers careens from a louche bar in Tangiers to a banquette at La Côte Basque, from literary salons to high-priced whorehouses. It takes in calculating beauties and sadistic husbands along with such real-life supporting characters as Colette, the Duchess of Windsor, Montgomery Clift, and Tallulah Bankhead. Above all, this malevolently funny book displays Capote at his most relentlessly observant and murderously witty.
