From bestselling author Charles Finch comes the second in
a prequel trilogy to his lauded series in which the
theft of an antique painting sends Charles Lenox on a hunt
for a criminal mastermind.
London, 1853. The Duke of Dorset, one of England's most
famous noblemen, calls upon young Charles Lenox for help. A
minor painting has been stolen from his private study. It's
not particularly valuable in itself, but it's a peculiar
thing to steal, leaving Lenox uneasy. After a vicious attack
upon the Duke confirms the young investigator's anxieties,
he must unravel the mystery of this painting, reaching back
through the centuries to reveal one of the country's
best-kept secrets—and discovering, in the process, a
small, forgettable object of almost infinite value.
