'Peter James is one of the best British crime writers, and therefore one of the best in the world.' - LEE CHILD, author of The Jack Reacher series

A priceless discovery. A deadly cost.

In his deadliest case yet Detective Superintendent Roy Grace finds himself plunged into the unfamiliar world of fine art. Underneath the respectable veneer, he soon finds that greed, deception and violence are never far away.

Harry and Freya, an ordinary couple, dreamed for years of finding something priceless amongst the junk in a car boot sale. It was a dream they knew in their hearts would never come true - until the day it did.

Sensing a bargain, they buy an ugly portrait for its beautiful frame only to discover another picture beneath: a stunning landscape. Could it be a long-lost masterpiece from 1770? If genuine, it could be worth millions.

One collector is certain that the painting is the real deal, and will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

Harry and Freya are about to discover that their dream is turning into their worst nightmare, and Roy Grace is about to find himself out of his element, and running out of time . . .
