When a body is found outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art-posed to replicate a Renaissance painting-Dr. Alice Fontana is dragged into a nightmare only she can decode. As a brilliant, reclusive art historian and forensic consultant, Alice recognizes something chilling in the scene: the killer has used her unpublished thesis as a blueprint.
As more victims appear, each one mimicking a rare or misunderstood work of art, the murders evolve into a terrifying gallery of death. Paired with FBI Special Agent Theo Gallagher, a man known for working alone, Alice must navigate the museum's shadows, academia's secrets, and a killer who may know her better than she knows herself.
