Following the internationally acclaimed Gold of Kings,
Storm Syrrell returns in the compelling story of The Black
Madonna. Antiques expert Storm Syrrell heads to Europe to
investigate the clandestine trade in religious artifacts.
She dismisses superstitious tales of miraculous healings
and divine omens. Yet when an obsessive Russian oligarch
calls—just as her friend Harry Bennett vanishes—all
assumptions must be cast aside. Storm seeks answers in a
medieval monastery. There, the scarred visage of an icon
provokes ever more startling questions. Is she prepared to
confront both earthly and spiritual powers? Storm remains
haunted by lessons in love and betrayal that lie just
outside her grasp. But hesitation now holds mortal
consequences.
