A masterpiece of masquerade...a brilliantly wily reflection on the seductions of art and corruptions of the art world.
The Telegraph
A remarkably lively account...fascinating.
The Times
Greenhalgh has a likable voice, pitched midway between Arthur Daley and Philip Marlowe. And, unsurprisingly, he has an eye for detail...The lingering impression is of a man beguiled by image-making.
The Observer
Here is riveting and affecting Northern realism: Greenhalgh's knowledge is as daunting as it is inspiring.
The Spectator
A lively account of a man who put his genuine talent and love of art to deplorable use.
Daily Mail
An indispensable addition to any rogues' library.
Sunday Independent (Ireland)
A great holiday read.
Artists and Illustrators
A roundabout love letter to art.

Nothing if not lively
