Former art forger Annie Kincaid has been operating a legitimate decorative painting business for quite a while, but memories are long in the art world. Now, with the blessing of the FBI Art Squad, Annies using her underworld connections to boost her new art investigation business, where shes partnered with none other than ex-art thief/ love interest Michael X. Johnson. At first its strictly business, but when she stumbles across a body in an exclusive Nob Hill mens club, and an insurance adjuster asks and an insurance adjuster asks her to find a stolen (and forged) erotic painting, and then her Uncle Anton is attacked, Annies on the trail of more than just art. This time, shes looking for justice. Annie is a strong woman protagonist. She has reinvented herself from a checkered past as an art forger to a legitimate businesswoman/artist. She moves easily between high and low social circles. as she makes the rounds of San Francisco and Bay Area locales, including tunnels beneath the pavements of Nob Hill and Chinatown; the homes and hideoutseven a downtown sex clubof the rich and famous; and the artists studios South of Market. The Art Lovers series has an entertaining light touch, especially when either of Annie Kincaids two romantic interests appear. But Arsenic and Old Paint also deals with serious social issues some history of slave trading in Chinatown, and its connection with San Francisco powers-that-were; and the male exploitation of the female and immigrant powerless, an issue that continues to this day.
