A trip to Italyโs Tuscan countryside is a dream come true for curator and manager of Marshfield Manor, Grace Wheaton. At least until her bossโand benefactor of this whirlwind excursionโbecomes the target of a murdererโฆ
When Grace and her boss, Bennett Marshfield, turn up at the Italian villa of one of his oldest friends, theyโre troubled to discover that most of his friendโs impressive art collectionโincluding a prized bronze skull crafted by Picassoโis fake. Someone has been selling the real deals and replacing them with skilled forgeries.
Unfortunately, Grace and Bennett have to fly home the next day, so thereโs no time to investigate. But their troubles are hardly over. On the plane, Grace catches a woman trying to poison Bennett. The woman, of course, isnโt talking, but by the end of the flight, there are two dead bodies. Now Grace has to wing it to find a mile-high murdererโespecially since she suspects Bennett is still in dangerโฆ
