From the author of Multiple Exposure, an “assured
tale of love, loss, and secret agendas” (Publishers
Weekly), comes the second novel in the thrilling Sophie
Medina series, following a photojournalist as she races to
find an international treasure before a murderer finds
her.
When freelance photojournalist Sophie Medina
finds Brother
Kevin Boyle, a Franciscan friar and controversial
environmentalist, dead in the magnificent gardens of a
Washington, DC monastery, she is sure her friend was
murdered. Shortly before he died, Kevin told Sophie he was
being stalked, possibly because he uncovered a botanic
discovery potentially worth millions of dollars. Left with
few clues to his secret, Sophie is determined to figure out
who killed Kevin.
Beginning with a key that leads to a
priceless original
seventeenth-century encyclopedia of plants, Sophie leaps
into an international treasure hunt following a trail that
begins in the US Capitol and eventually leads to London and
the English countryside. Before long Sophie suspects Kevin’s
murderer may have been someone who knew him well. With time
running out and a suspect list that includes the world’s
leading botanical experts and political royalty from both
sides of the Atlantic, can Sophie solve the
two-hundred-year-old mystery before Kevin’s killer finds
her?
A tale of greed and betrayal involving politicians,
diplomats, European royalty, and a century-old monastery,
Ghost Image is filled with political intrigue,
history, and an international high-stakes race against a
killer that will keep you guessing until the very last page.
