A VALUABLE SACRED OBJECT.THERE'S ALWAYS A PRICE-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 by kitesurfing with the handsome nurse she fell in love with during her recovery. She's even thinking about painting again.But when a dear 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, in her extensive collection of Heavy Metal t-shirts, must outsmart a whole ring of international antiquities smugglers. But she absolutely can't do it alone; she's going to have to learn to trust someone-but who?This story is like a getaway car along a treacherous mountain road, until its complex and unqualified thrilling conclusion, giving new meaning to the phrase "twist at the end".Mikky's combination of vulnerability and strength will appeal to fans of female sleuths. And if Mikky could learn to trust her team, she'd fit right in with the crews of OCEAN'S 8 or GOOD GIRLS.
Autorenporträt
I am the author of a Culture Crime Series that includes GOLDEN ICON, MASTERPIECE, BOOK OF HOURS and STOLEN SCRIPT. I have also published a love story ELLIE BRAVO and two books of short stories: BEDTIME READS and RED SHOES. My background is in travel and tourism and I use my experiences of living and travelling abroad and knowledge of locations as an integral part of scenes in my novels. I have a passion for history and cultural heritage. I love to see people maintain deep-rooted traditions. Identity is an important part of us all and I believe understanding the lives of others creates respect and unity in our society. My cultural crime series allows me to develop characters and to explore right and wrong whilst writing about our world heritage, art and ethnicity. Please read my blog for more information on my books and the research for my novels. I am currently working on my next novel in the Cultural Crime Series.
