A murdered gallery owner. A missing painting. A family in deadly peril.

When respected art dealer Antonia Scott is found stabbed in her Mallingham gallery, Detective Karen Morgan’s only lead is a missing portfolio of drawings by Freddie Jones — a gifted but notorious forger.

Freddie supposedly died of a heart attack, but his daughter Bee is certain it was murder. Days later, she disappears. It’s clear someone believes she knows the truth about the stolen portfolio — and the secrets it hides.

Detective Morgan needs ex-copper Naomi Blake’s help. Blake is convinced Antonia’s murder, Freddie’s forgeries and Bee’s disappearance are pieces of the same dangerous puzzle.

But the world of art forgery and high-stakes deals hides ruthless collectors — and killers who will do anything to keep their secrets.

If Naomi fails, Bee won’t be the only one who disappears.

Perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves, Elly Griffiths, and Val McDermid.
