Publisher's Synopsis

As the sun is setting on a quiet London street, a young man falls to his death.

But this is no unexplained tragedy, and soon the lives of seemingly unconnected individuals become intertwined. Among them, a world-renowned painter who fears his powers are waning, a New York gallerist haunted by the past and a billionaire art collector obsessed with a new painting to the point of madness.

Exposing the unsettling underbelly of the glittering art world and spanning Manhattan, Mayfair, the Swiss mountains, Venice and Los Angeles, The Violet Hour is a novel of success and failure, grief and love, and the question of how to live in a world fuelled by money and ambition.
