Showing Headlong by Michael Frayn

'A knife-edge thriller/farce about a missing Bruegel masterpiece and its rightful custodians.' Independent

Martin Clay, a young would-be art historian, suddenly sees opening in front of him the chance of a lifetime: the opportunity to perform a great public service, and at the same time to make his professional reputation - perhaps even rather a lot of money as well. Thus he finds himself drawn step by step into a moral and intellectual labyrinth.
