Description
A medieval painting of a game of chess holds the key to a murder in the art world of contemporary Madrid. The 15th-century Flemish painting depicts two noblemen playing chess, but two years before the portrait was taken, one of them was killed. A hidden inscription in Latin, discovered by a picture restorer, points to the crime: Quis necavit equitem? Who killed the knight? As the inscription is uncovered, a brilliant chess theoretician joins forces with the restorer to retrace the moves, leading them to a deadly game that is far from over. The Flanders Panel is a gripping mystery that weaves together art, history, and detection. A complex web of clues and puzzles is revealed as the two protagonists delve deeper into the past, uncovering secrets and lies that lead them closer to the truth. With its intricate plot and historical context, this book is a compelling read for fans of mystery and detective fiction.
