An older man, Kevin Donovan, is dying. With him toward the end are his priest and his lawyer. He has one final request and he tries to make them understand how important it is for them to carry out this final wish; they are to destroy the painting marked Juliana's Portrait, hung in his study.

Duncan and Robert are the best of friends, the first a real estate agent with several offices, the second a journalist, and the two are just about polar opposites. Duncan has been contacted about handling the sale of the estate belonging to the recently deceased Kevin Donovan. He has also a personal interest in paintings, which he bids on for his own collection. Upon arrival at the mansion he remembers the teachings he received as a child by his mother, and later, on spiritualism and other related areas. He has a strange feeling about the situation, almost a foreboding. He will find that feeling is definitely warranted.

This was an interesting novel, full of suspense in the storyline, complicated relationships with their ups and downs (very true to life), and a somewhat non-traditional ending-unusual, but fitting to the story.
