"Almost twenty-five years after the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum's infamous art heist - still the largest unsolved art theft in history - one of the stolen Degas paintings is delivered to the Boston studio of a young artist named Claire Roth. ... As Claire searches for the truth about the painting's origins, she finds herself in a desperate race through a labyrinth of trapdoors, dead ends, and deceit, where secrets hidden since the late nineteenth centura may be the only evidence that can save her from incrimination." - Dust jacket.
