After her father dies under mysterious circumstances in Central America, Marion Spicer, a Paris-based art detective, learns that she is to inherit his vast collection of pre-Colombian art.  Only there is one condition:  she must first hunt down three missing statuettes.  In her search, Marion becomes entangled in a world filled with danger and louche intrigue.  Along the way, she comes face-to-face with terrifying threats, some unforgettable encounters and two murders.  Ultimately, she comes to understand the real character and nature of a father she never knew, as well as the arcane obsessions and perversions of the international art community.  In this exciting literary debut, the author offers a gripping and smart crime thriller.
