Description

In Seattle, Faith's critically ill father is blackmailed for $500,000. In California, a priceless painting is stolen from a museum, and the thieves demand the same ransom.

When Faith discovers a $100 bill washed up on her beach, she unwittingly becomes entangled in a web of deception. Meanwhile, Sandy, the chief security officer of the museum, travels to Washington to investigate the theft.

As secrets from Faith's family history resurface, she grapples with the revelation that some truths are more painful to conceal than to confront.

In The Portrait by Olivia Godat, readers are drawn into a suspenseful tale where hidden pasts collide with present-day mysteries.

Featured Reviews

It's a good read for mystery, and crime readers. I would read another book by this author, but it wasn't my favorite. The characters were perfect though.
