L’Imprudence récompensée. Roman

Why shouldn’t imprudence, an attitude that is common to children, lovers and adventurers, sometimes find its own reward?

This would validate all those who take risks, abandoning the safety of ordinary existence to find the keys to a passionate quest, as in this novel, the author’s sixth, set in the worlds of art and theatre, where counterfeit abounds.

We’ll meet an unfulfilled and unfaithful playwright, whose wife’s murder drags him into a police adventure on the trail of lost sculptures, all pieces of a puzzle that will be solved both in real life as on the stage.

Louis-Antoine Prat is a writer, author of his first novel at the age of twenty, prolific art historian, discerning and passionate collector and president of the Société des amis du Louvre, who all while amassing a rare collection of French drawings, has never ceased writing novels, short stories, and plays, with the same sharp eye and finesse that allow him to distinguish, in art, what is fake from what is real.
