A stunning, high-concept debut novel set in the contemporary art world that is a perfect choice for reading groups.

Art, fashion, fame and sex - artist Esther Glass has it all. That is, until a ghost from her past threatens to destroy her perfect life. Trying to cover her tracks, Esther goes for ultimate sensation, selling herself as a living work of art. She takes the international art scene by storm, performing as the female sitters inside seven great paintings. But underneath the surface the cracks start to show as Esther is forced to reconcile a very private history with a very public life.

Fast-paced, smart and scintillating, Masterpiece gives the reader a rare glimpse into a closed world.
