It is . . .Sacr Bleu In July 1890, Vincent van Gogh went into a cornfield and shot himself.Or did he?Why would an artist at the height of his creative powers attempt to take his own life . . . and then walk a mile to a doctor’s house for help?

And why had the painter recently become deathly afraid of a certain shade of blue?These are just a few of the questions confronting Vincent’s friendsbaker-turned-painter Lucien Lessard and bon vivant Henri Toulouse-Lautrecwho vow to discover the truth about van Gogh’s untimely death. Their quest will lead them on a surreal odyssey and brothel-crawl deep into the art world of late nineteenth-century Paris.Oh l l, quelle surprise, andzut alors!A delectable confection of intrigue, passion, and art historywith cancan girls, baguettes, and fine French cognac thrown in for good measure Sacr Bleuis another masterpiece of wit and wonder from the one, the only, Christopher Moore.
