Where there's a will, there's murder. In the high-stakes game of authenticating artwork by Jackson Pollock, the foremost expert, a feisty character known for his hair-trigger temper, is certain that a bunch of bogus paintings are up for consideration. He believes they're clever forgeries painted by a member of the late artist's inner circle. Private detective TJ Fitzgerald is hired to track down the source. Is it one of Pollock's drinking buddies, his art dealer, or perhaps his lover? As the evidence piles up and the culprit's identity is about to be revealed, a fatal accident derails the investigation. Was it really an accident? Fitzgerald believes it was murder, with the forger as suspect number one. But the victim's multiple wills suggest other motives. As one lead after another fails to pan out, a chance encounter sends the detective in a new, more sinister, direction.
