A major debut novel of psychological suspense
about a daring art heist, a cat-and-mouse waiting game, and
a small-town girl's mesmerizing transformation
On the grubby outskirts of Paris, Grace restores
bric-a-brac, mends teapots, re-sets gems. She calls herself
Julie, says she's from California, and slips back to a
rented room at night. Regularly, furtively, she checks the
hometown paper on the Internet. Home is Garland, Tennessee,
and there, two young men have just been paroled. One, she
married; the other, she's in love with. Both were jailed for
a crime that Grace herself planned in exacting detail. The
heist went bad-but not before she was on a plane to Prague
with a stolen canvas rolled in her bag. And so, in Paris,
begins a cat-and-mouse waiting game as Grace's web of
deception and lies unravels-and she becomes another young
woman entirely.
