CHASING POLLOCK

Chasing Pollock: A Battle of Art and Conspiracy

When celebrated Harvard Art History Professor Robert Langley accepts a quiet invitation to a private estate in East Hampton, he believes he's being asked to authenticate six newly discovered Jackson Pollock paintings. Instead, he steps into a high-stakes deception where art, money, and morality collide.

The estate-an architectural marvel overlooking the Atlantic-is home to an elite circle of collectors, financiers, and museum directors. Among them are Langley's former student turned auction-house power broker, a calculating museum director, and a secretive billionaire host. What begins as an academic consultation quickly becomes a dangerous performance: every conversation rehearsed, every wall watched, every masterpiece a potential forgery.

Guided only by Jenny, a quiet assistant who seems to know too much, Langley uncovers a secret vault beneath the house where the true Pollocks-and other vanished works of modern art-are hidden away. Above ground, their replicas are prepared for sale, ready to be "authenticated" with his signature. As he digs deeper into the shadows of the art world, Langley must decide whether to protect his reputation or expose a conspiracy that could destroy it-and everyone involved.

Chasing Pollock is a cerebral and suspenseful novel that explores the price of truth in a world where art is both sacred and corruptible. With the elegance of literary fiction and the tension of a noir thriller, Terry: H weaves a narrative of moral peril, intellectual obsession, and the haunting beauty of what cannot be replaced.
