by David Adams Cleveland. About an art dealer/historian who goes to Venice after hearing rumors that a supposedly lost Raphael has resurfaced. While trying to determine its authenticity, he has an affair with an American graduate student and becomes mixed up in a mysterious situation.

Not great literature but entertaining. I love fiction about art.
