Stephen Swan is amazed when he hears that the uncle he
thought had been killed in the Blitz is actually alive. For
nearly four decades, Eldritch Swan has been locked away in
an Irish prison and now, at last, has been released.
Shocked and suspicious, Stephen listens to the old man’s
story and is caught up in a tale that begins at the dawn of
World War II, when Eldritch worked for an Antwerp diamond
dealer with a trove of Picassos — highly valuable paintings
that later disappeared. Stephen, who finds his uncle by
turns devious, charming, and brazen, then meets Rachel
Banner, a beautiful American who may have inherited the
Picassos—and is determined to see justice done for her
family. But in this tale of revenge and redemption, justice
is the ultimate illusion. Eldritch, Stephen, and the woman
Stephen has fallen in love with soon find themselves
fighting for their lives — against sinister forces still
guarding a secret that must never be revealed.
