520 1 $a"Bob Langmuir is an obsessive dealer with an uncanny eye for treasure who makes the discovery of a lifetime when he chances upon a trove of never-before-seen prints by the legendary Diane Arbus." "From the moment he spies some intriguing photographs in a trunk he buys from a guy who claims to be a member of the Nigerian royal family, a trunk that holds the archive of a midcentury Times Square freak show called Hubert's that Arbus frequented, he knows he's on to something. Furthermore, he begins to suspect that what he's found may add a pivotal chapter to what is now known about Arbus as well as about the "old weird America," in Greil Marcus's phrase, that Hubert's inhabited." "Bob's ensuing adventure - filled with bizarre coincidences - turns into a roller-coaster ride that takes him from the fringes of the memorabilia business to Sotheby's, and from the exhibits of a run-down Times Square freak show to the curator's office of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Will the photos be authenticated? How will the Arbus estate react? Most important, can Bob, who has seen more than a few promising deals head south, finally make his one big score?"--BOOK JACKET.
