Some masterpieces were never meant to be found.
When Sydney Fisher inherits her reclusive neighbor’s fog-shrouded San Francisco mansion, she expects dusty canvases and forgotten antiques.
Instead, she finds a secret archive that could topple the most powerful gallery in the world.
With the help of Elena Rodriguez—a brilliant, disgraced art historian carrying scars of her own—they discover the late Marcus Vale was no ordinary collector. He was one of the Monuments Men, and for seventy years he guarded proof that dozens of “lost” masterpieces—thought destroyed in the war—are brilliant fakes hiding the real ones in plain sight.
As federal agents close in and the forgers fight back, Sydney and Elena race to decode Marcus’s revolutionary authentication system before the evidence—and they themselves—disappear forever.
In a world built on perfect lies, only one thing is certain: some masterpieces were never meant to be found.
Art history meets heart-pounding suspense in a standalone thriller. Because when every brushstroke could be a betrayal, trust is the ultimate forgery.
