Sinossi
L’affascinante gallerista Elisabeth Teerlinc sa riconoscere un falso. Ne è lei stessa un esempio, dopotutto. Il suo vero nome, Judith Rashleigh, è sepolto sotto uno spesso velo di menzogne accanto ai corpi degli uomini che sono stati tanto sciocchi da opporsi a lei. Ma ora, coinvolta in uno scontro letale tra un boss della mafia russa e un detective italiano corrotto, Judith sarà costretta a imbarcarsi nell’impresa più ardita della sua carriera: portare il falso di un grande capolavoro alla prestigiosa casa d’aste per la quale lavorava come assistente anni prima, e venderlo per una cifra da capogiro. L’idea di ingannare i suoi ex datori di lavoro e tutto il mondo dell’arte per Judith è quasi eccitante quanto il sesso estremo, ancor più con la consapevolezza che il prezzo da pagare, in caso di insuccesso, sarà la sua stessa vita. Ma portare a termine quel compito mantenendo la nuova identità potrebbe esporla a un rischio ben più alto.
Come in un meraviglioso dipinto privato degli strati di vernice, emergerà qualcosa di completamente inaspettato. Una verità sul suo passato che nemmeno Judith osa ricordare...

Recensioni
3.5/5 Wow! This was actually quite good as well. I enjoyed the ending for the protagonist and the plot was absolutely MORE entertaining than the first 2 books. This one was actually quite worth it, leaving aside the fact that it was a bit slow at times. I was scared how the relationship with the prot Leggi tutto
Love It. Hate it. Read it. That’s the marketing for this one and it’s spot on. The entire trilogy has been marmite, I had a few eyebrows raised at me when I ADORED the first one (Maestra) and a few alternative eyebrows raised at me when I really DIDN’T LIKE the second one (Domina) so now you can all Leggi tutto
I was one of those people who really liked Maestra when it came out….not many did and much was made of its erotic content and the author rather than the book itself which I felt was very unfair. I tried to recommend to as many as possible to try to reverse the negativity surrounding Maestra as I tho Leggi tutto
So pleased L S Hilton did not let me down! This really has been the best trilogy I've ever read. I love Judith (Elizabeth) more now than in the previous two books. There's some great humour, there's genuine sadness but Elizabeth deals with it in her own inimitable way! I've convinced myself that the Leggi tutto
Judith Rashleigh is in trouble, she is caught in the middle of the Russian Mafia and a corrupt Italian police inspector. There is only one way for Judith to survive and that is to fake piece of masterpiece and sell it for over $150 million. Judith knows she can do this as her life as Elizabeth Teerl Leggi tutto
I thought Ultima was great, along with Maestra and Domina. I just finished Ultima and I was sad to see Judith go. Judith was...interesting, unlike any lead character I have ever read. The woman is definitely not someone you want to mess with. You run through a wonderful gamut of feelings for her. I
This is the third in this trilogy, and is the best of all. Judith finds herself manoevred to commit art fraud, but she handles this in her own devious manner. The book is really good, full of the nuances of the art world which draw the reader in, even if they (like me) know nothing about art. We mee Leggi tutto
