From internationally bestselling author Iain Pears comes the
seventh in his Jonathan Argyll series -- an intriguing mystery of
love, loss, and artistic license.
For newlywed and Italian art theft squad head Flavia di Stefano,
the honeymoon is over when a painting, borrowed from the Louvre and
en route to a celebratory exhibition, is stolen. Desperate to avoid
public embarrassment -- and to avoid paying a ransom -- the Italian
prime minister leans hard on Flavia to get it back quickly and
quietly.
Across town, her husband, art historian Jonathan Argyll, begins
an investigation of his own, tracing the past of a small
Renaissance painting -- an Immaculate Conception -- owned by
Flavia's mentor, retired general Taddeo Bottando. Soon both husband
and wife uncover astonishing and chilling secrets, and Flavia's
investigation takes a sudden turn from the search for an art thief
to the hunt for a murderer.
