Anna Barrington — The Spectacle - with Eleanor Stern

<p>Nobody knows quite who Rudolph Sullivan is, or how he ascended so quickly to the glittering top of New York's art scene. When aspiring artist and struggling gallery assistant Ingrid meets the charismatic dealer at a party, she falls fast--Rudolph offers her a seductive taste of luxury and an escape from her humdrum existence. </p><p>But Rudolph is hiding much more than his dazzling facade lets on. With insatiable tastes and a need to keep up appearances, his debts mount rapidly, and he turns to double dealing to stay afloat. As his adversaries close in, Rudolph realizes his fall from grace could cost him more than his reputation. Panicking, paranoid, and willing to sacrifice anyone to maintain his precarious foothold, he plans his most audacious gambit yet--and Ingrid is at the center of it. </p><p><br /></p><p>PURCHASE: https://politics-prose.com/book/9781454960485?ic_referral=xyW22u3ykWmxU3O6IMbPzdXFtVyxwQ7owl5VhO8FRg8wM5PLM7eDk-2aWCSK2YNlB-AreTiqQnGodnPB1XpWNS85f4JGwbH3pd4QKp29_8ZjpalYy6NSzZsyM3_OZnnDl1_cXmA</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Anna Barrington</strong> has worked in galleries and auction houses in the art world for over five years.
