Description
What would you do if you discovered a lost masterpiece worth millions, which a curator will kill to keep hidden?
Sarah Downing, an art conservator hiding in witness protection, identifies a lost masterpiece by Caravaggio. History says it burned in WWII Berlin, but here it is, on her easel.
Soon she is fighting to save the painting and herself. Someone has betrayed Sarah—an agent, a friend? Whoever it was, her ex-husband Jimmy is standing on her street, outside her house, waiting.
What Sarah does next sends her from Kingston to Italy to rural Ontario in her desperate attempt to survive, save the Caravaggio and rebuild her life. What she doesn't know is that her ex has found out about the painting and will murder to get it.
He has revenge in his heart and soon he will have allies to help him catch her.

This was a fast paced and at times action pact story. Sarah Downing is a transplant to Canada after being emitted to the American Witness protection plan after she testified against Jimmy, her brutal ex husband. 10 years have passed and Jimmy is released from prison and wanting to find out where his ex wife is.
Sarah has changed her name and appearance and is now an art restorer in Kingston, Ontario ,and who is working on a painting she believes to be an original. Her boss knows this as well and has other plans for the piece of art, so the drama begins.
This story takes you on a whirlwind ride, as she tries to outsmart her ex, find a safe place for the painting, and herself and keep the people she loves from being hurt along the way.
There is a good connection between a lot of the characters, even a budding romance. Sarah is drawn to art and often will refer a scene she is looking at to a painter and piece of art.
This I enjoyed as I always look them up to see what she was seeing and learn about a new artist to me as well.
This was a fun story with a lot of twist and turns.
I would like to thank NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the ARC of this book.
