A gripping novel in regards to a seemingly charmed marriage and a mystical disappearance at sea. In 1905 a holiday agent and amateur antiques collector known as Armand de Potter mysteriously disappears off of the shoreline of Greece. His person is never recovered, and his better half is left to manage his affairs on her own. But as she begins to patch together his life, she realizes that everything had not been as he previously said. Infused with details from letters and diary entries, the narrative twists ahead and backward through time, disclosing a lost world of artificial identities, underground antiques systems, and a man who wasn't what he appeared. Actually from Belgium, young Armand de Potter visited New York without a penny in his pocket. With cunning ambition, he quickly made a name for himself as both a worldwide travel guide and a trusted--if illegal--antiques seller. After marrying he changed the family to a lavish villa in Cannes and embraced an aristocratic life. But as he grew progressively entangled in the antiques trade, and his touring business began to falter, Armand's control started to fray. As the earth shut down in, he assumed he had only 1 option left. Advised with masterful narrative agility, De Potter's Grand Tour is a tale as grand as the travel guide at its middle. Pulling on real letters, legal documents, and a trove of diaries only lately discovered, Joanna Scott details delicately toward the story's historical basis and unfolds a detective tale of the best order.
