With vivid brush strokes "Untitled Nude" paints a picture of the Los Angeles art scene, a tableau of artists, models, art dealers, curators & collectors, set against recognizable L.A. locales. Deftly intertwining fact & fiction, the author weaves a plot of love, lust, & intrigue, spinning around the theft of a priceless Michelangelo torso. A parallel plotline follows the creation of a statue of a nude by a rising young artist, revealing the heart & mind of the artist at work, & his relationship to his teenage model. Fast-paced & seductive, beautifully told & elegantly presented, with dust jacket by renowned sculptor Robert Graham, the novel hooks readers on page & keeps them spellbound until its dramatic conclusion. Writes Suzanne Muchnic, L.A. Times: "Carol Doumani's lusty page-turner about the shadowy side of the Los Angeles art scene draws on an insider's observations & a fertile imagination...a sensual tale of forgery, theft & murder which turns familiar haunts into stage sets for treachery." Writes Martha Smilgis, Time Magazine: "Bravo! An erotic page-turning journey into the mind of a contemporary artist. Doumani's prose is a sensual bath."
