After a successful contemporary art show,  the demoralized artist commits suicide sending the price of his remaining works skyrocketing, and not only that but his masterpiece appears to be missing, leaving many scrambling to find it. This story started out a little slow and there were a lot of characters to keep track of, but once you got past that, it was a really good story. The missing painting brings together the most unlikely bunch of quirky people, and I liked the way their individual stories intertwined so intricately. Great story about both the beauty and absurdity of modern art.
