A missing filmmaker. A stolen antique. Someone will kill to stop them being found. . .
FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF CONVICTION COMES AN ESCAPIST THRILLER
*A Scotsman Book of the Year*
When amateur film-maker Lisa Lee vanishes from a Scottish seaside town, journalists Anna and Fin find themselves at the centre of an internet frenzy to find her.
But she may not be the hapless victim everyone thinks she is. The last film she made showed her breaking into an abandoned French chateau and stumbling across a priceless Roman silver casket. The day after Lisa vanishes the casket is listed for auction in Paris, reserve price fifty million euros, with a catalogue entry that challenges the beliefs of a major world religion.
On a thrilling chase across Europe to discover what happened to Lisa, Anna and Fin are caught up in a world of international art smuggling, religious zealotry, and murder.
But someone doesn't want them to find the missing girl... and will do anything to stop them.
