There is an art to murder . . . In Rome, the Eternal City . . . three shocking homicides occur in three days?each a grisly re-creation of a painting by one of the most revered artistic giants of all time. But this new "artist" works in blood, not oils. A reformed art thief on assignment for the FBI, Tom Kirk is in a Las Vegas casino with $20 million to purchase a Caravaggio masterpiece unseen for nearly half a century?a transaction that's brutally cut short by gunfire. A shattering assassination rocks Kirk's world, plunging him and unorthodox Italian detective Allegra Damico into an international web of evil that encompasses the Church, politicians, the police, and the Mafia. The road Kirk and Allegra must now follow is twisting and treacherous, winding through Vatican secrets, blood oaths, and Swiss betrayals. And death surely waits at the end.
