Description
A 70,000-word literary-leaning crime novel tells the story behind the theft of Edvard Munch's The Scream from an Oslo museum in 2004. Percival Davenport, a retired CEO-turned-painter, hires a thief to steal paintings and hang his own work, driven by insecurity and a desire for mastery. As Percival's obsession with Edvard Munch's The Scream grows, he steals the painting and sets in motion a chain of events that leads to a dramatic confrontation. With law enforcement closing in, Percival's anxiety reaches a boiling point, forcing him to take drastic action. The novel explores themes of art, obsession, and the lengths people will go to achieve their goals.
