Aaron Elkins wrote four Chris Norgren mysteries between 1987 and 1993. The series begins with A Deceptive Clarity, followed by A Glancing Light and Minotaur Maze (both 1991), and wraps up with Old Scores in 1993. The titles hint at art-world settings, with references to visual clarity, light, and classical mythology.
Chris Norgren appears throughout the series as the central character, and readers who want to follow his development should start with A Deceptive Clarity and work forward. The four books fit neatly into a six-year span, making this a manageable mystery series to pick up from start to finish.
