About The Book
Inspired by a real-life unsolved art theft, this “startling, smart, vivid” (Tana French, New York Times bestselling author) thriller follows the fallout from a viral video that exposes a hidden crime and pulls four desperate lives into a deadly hunt for a stolen masterpiece.
In just twenty-eight seconds, a home-security camera captures fourteen-year-old Carly Liddell fighting off a brutal attack at her front door. The footage goes viral, turning Carly into an unlikely hero—and revealing far more than anyone realizes. Barely visible in the corner of the frame is the clue that threatens to unravel a long-buried secret.
Carly’s stepfather is driven to protect the truth about how a four-hundred-year-old painting by a Dutch Golden Age master ended up hanging in his suburban home. An art dealer once left for dead sees a chance at redemption. A ruthless enforcer resumes the hunt to recover the stolen work for his billionaire clients. And as the pressure mounts, Carly herself begins to question what really happened—and who she can trust.
As secrets surface and loyalties fracture, the search for the missing painting turns violent. Taut, twist-filled, and darkly clever, this suspenseful novel dismantles a classic heist story and rebuilds it into a gripping mystery about family, greed, and the dangerous power of what the camera catches.
