Cold Heart
“He’d asked everyone about Kendall Nathan’s gallery, and had prowled Rodeo, Beverly, Melrose Place and sections of La Cienega looking for other exclusive galleries that relied on private clients. He had palmed money to porters at auction houses and, dressed in his best gear, exploiting his good looks and acting experience to the full, he had posed as a buyer or a dealer.
He took one real dealer to lunch at the Ivy, and by four o’clock he was exhausted, but he felt he now knew conclusively th...at none of Harry Nathan’s pieces had been on the market during the past two years. He had records of sales past, or forthcoming; catalogues from European auctions and a thick stack of literature from the English art houses, Sotheby’s and Christie’s, from both their London and New York centres of business.
He decided now to talk to the kid who had worked for Kendall. He was a little wary as he followed Washington Boulevard into east Los Angeles, more than aware that he was crossing the divide into gangland territory.MoreLess
