The Death of Noah Glass

Noah Glass, an art historian who loves the paintings of Piero della Francesca, has only just come home from Sicily when his body is discovered in the pool of the Sydney block where he lives. His grown-up son and daughter, Martin and Evie, are still reeling when detectives start asking questions: a sculpture has disappeared from a Palermo museum, and Noah, who had an Italian lover, is under suspicion. None of it makes sense to them. Martin flies to Palermo to learn what his father was up to, while Evie settles into Noah's flat, unsure of her next move. As both follow his footsteps, they carry the damage he handed down to them, in a novel about family, art, grief and the workings of memory and time.
