Grant Myers, a once-renowned art authenticator, has spent years in quiet exile, restoring forgotten works while trying to outrun his past. But when an anonymous package arrives at his Chicago studio-a canvas wrapped in secrecy and danger-he is pulled into the underworld of lost masterpieces, where history is rewritten with a brushstroke and the truth is buried deeper than the paintings themselves.
With the sharp-witted and elusive Sabrina Locke at his side, Grant follows the trail across continents, from the hushed corridors of London's elite auctions to the shadowed alleys of São Paulo, where stolen art doesn't just vanish-it is erased. But they are not the only ones chasing the truth. A relentless pursuer, one who knows more about the painting than he lets on, follows their every move, offering cryptic warnings and impossible choices.
As deception tightens around them and the weight of history threatens to crush them both, Grant must decide: is the truth worth exposing if it means losing everything? In a world where art is power, and secrets are more valuable than gold, some paintings are meant to stay hidden.
