Provenance
by Kate Thompson
What is the difference between a dealer and a carpet-bagger? Provenance is set in a fictional Warlpiri community in the Tanami desert in Central Australia. It tells the story of an English doctor who goes to work in the community and becomes involved in trying to sell works of art for a patient. This brings him into contact with the murky world of the wheelers and dealers in Alice Springs, and when the paintings go missing he finds himself in the difficult position of having to track them down.
