"Painters know burnt sienna as the color of earth and fire, thecolor of passion and life. But when Chase Malone sets eyes on Sienna Bellasar, he sees a beauty unmatched by anyone, or anything, he has ever attempted to capture on canvas. Sienna is the wife of international arms dealer Derek Bellasar, who tries to strong-arm Malone into painting her portrait. But Malone refuses...until he beholds Sienna's beauty. Until the CIA persuades him to spy on Bellasar. And until he learns that Bellasar previously commissioned paintings of three earlier wives--weeks before each died in suspicious accidents. Convinced that Sienna is in terrible danger, Malone vows to rescue her from Bellasar's French Riviera stronghold. Malone believes he can outrun, outfight, and outsmart Bellasar, but there may be no place in the world beyond Bellasar's reach, and no place to hide so beautiful a woman. As Bellasar prepares to test a monstrous new biological superweapon, Malone and Sienna must take on the ultimate challenge: to confront Bellasar on his own territory, exploit his one and only weakness, and try to destroy him. A novel that combines nonstop action with masterful, psychological brushstrokes, Burnt Sienna is a blockbuster entry from America's preeminent thriller writer. Here David Morrell exposes layers of truth beneath the surface of a woman's beauty, a man's greed, and an artist's conscience, as all three are caught in a fight for their lives--with explosive consequences for the entire world."
