A priceless piece of artwork that disappeared during World War II. Years later, a car accident in the French countryside that is no accident. A blood-stained photograph that exposes the world of cyber crime and a billion dollar smuggling operation that finances terrorism.
That automobile accident in the French countryside claimed the life of bestselling author and war correspondent, Catherine Bennett Ross.
Found in the wreckage of her rental car is a bloodstained photograph from World War II.
Cate's death sends Kris McKenna, her editor and close friend, to London to retrieve what she can of that final manuscript about Cate's father, war time photographer, Paul Bennett.
On her arrival in London she is met by James Morgan, the son of one of Cate's long-time friends. He's on medical leave from the military for injuries received in the Middle East. In his time away from the military he's working his way through scars, on the inside and outside, trying to figure out what's left of himself.
With an empty schedule, he accompanies Kris to Scotland where Cate had purchased a cottage when she retired. What they find changes everything. The cottage has been ransacked and that last manuscript Cate was working on has disappeared along with all her files.
A simple robbery as the local police determine? Or something more? What did those files contain? And when the French authorities conclude that Cate was deliberately forced off the road near Calais, the question becomes, what had she found and who would kill to prevent that book from being published?
They follow the information from Cate's phone and it becomes obvious that this is about far more than a stolen manuscript. That blood-stained photograph taken during World War II holds the key, and Kris is determined to find the answers and that last manuscript.
One person is dead and two more will die on a dangerous race from Scotland to the underbelly of Paris, then across the French countryside into the secrets of the past on the path of a killer determined to stop them at all cost...
