About the Book

Jamie Holbrooke’s painful past follows her to Italy when an assailant, who looks like her dead brother, presses a mysterious riddle into her hand. Soon she discovers that her long-time paragon, Dr. Alessandro Marianni, may be linked to the enigmatic riddle. Intrigued by her questions, Alessandro’s response must wait when their colleague is murdered in cold blood in full public view. Convinced the riddle and murder are connected to the coveted stolen painting, Jamie and Alessandro set out to discover who’s responsible. At stake is a two-thousand-year-old drama, unfolding in the contemporary world of the Italian Alps.

Will Jamie and Alessandro stop powerful organized crime figures before the painting is lost forever and with it a secret more valuable than the prized artwork? Will Jamie find the answers to help her reclaim her life again? She will need the courage to face her fears and the persevering faith of Dr. Alessandro Marianni to heal her wounded heart.
