The Painter: A Gripping Psychological Suspense Thriller

By Deirdre Quiery

You'll die, for his art...

In a desire to impress the people who visit his studio, renowned artist The Painter employs a gardener to create an inspirational landscape which includes a labyrinth, an orange grove, and Moorish-inspired fountains. They develop an intimate relationship and The Painter, whose life and talent had become increasingly dissipated, finds himself slowly recovering his original talent. However, the relationship is tainted by The Painter's jealousy when visitors express more interest in the magical garden than in his art. As the jealously blossoms into deadly rage, The Painter will stop at nothing to pursue his dreams, even if it means murder...

Deirdre Quiery's compelling new thriller explores themes of love, life and deceit, and examines the lengths we will go to pursue and protect our passions.
