Official synopsis Publisher
“I almost had a Caravaggio.” The raspy words Grand-père uttered as he died were extraordinary. Who almost owns a priceless painting?
From Paris through the vineyards and villages of the Loire Valley, Parisian art crime attorney André Gensonné finds himself searching for Saint Sebastian, a Caravaggio painting last seen in France three hundred years ago. If it still exists, where has it hidden?
André’s investigation is roiled by a series of complications including his grandfather’s legacy of sixty illegal paintings, and his disquieting relationship with Anne Morgan, the woman he loves.
The Forestier Furniture Company supplied hand-crafted furniture to the people of Doué-la-Fontaine, France since the 1750s. Contemporary buildings juxtaposed with ancient stone and brick structures nestle in a large tract of land among hectares of valuable vineyards. A submarine could hide there . . . along with many secrets.
Now inaptly named, Forestier is a technologically innovative company with multiple divisions located in the capitols of Europe. And the last surviving Forestier has been banished from the property by his widowed stepmother.
Is Saint Sebastian a secret worth killing for?
