The New Petersburg museum of modern art was a brand new and almost blinding building set on a cliff overlooking the growling blue ocean. It was entirely covered with aluminum tiles and built in a shape reminding him of 1950s flying saucers. It was actually nicknamed “The UFO.” Perfect place for a meeting, Terrence thought as he crossed the parking lot towards the entrance.
