Art forger Mikky dos Santos has talent, cunning, athletic prowess, an independent income—and even love. But trust? Now that’s another thing. After a lifetime of betrayal, she’d finally thought it was just within her reach….

A year after an accident that nearly killed her, Mikky’s made a miraculous recovery. She’s been spending her days rebuilding the strength in her elaborately inked body by kitesurfing with the handsome nurse she fell in love with during her recovery. She’s even thinking about painting again.

But when an old —but dangerous—friend tracks her down and asks for her help in authenticating a beautiful and possibly priceless medieval prayer book, a Book of Hours, Mikky finds herself caught up in someone else’s web—a deadly game played out across three countries.

Mikky is up against the best. She must outsmart a whole ring of international antiquities smugglers, some of whom might be friends—or relatives. But she absolutely can’t do it alone; she’s going to have to learn to trust someone—but who?

Set in Malaga (Spain), Bruges (Belgium), and Canterbury (England)–this international fast-paced thriller will keep you listening until the twist at the very end.

Mikky’s combination of vulnerability and strength will appeal to fans of female protagonists and listeners of crime thrillers in the style of Donna Leon, Estelle Ryan, Laura Morelli, CJ Lyons, and Carmen Armato.
