Detective Inspector Allison Morgan used to live an exciting, but normal life where she tracked down criminals and built cases but ever since she met Joseph Deverick her world is anything but normal.  Together she, and this uniquely talented antiques dealer, unravelled a cold case that brought one of the world’s greatest art thieves to justice.  At least with the case over Allison hoped her life could return to a semblance of normalcy.

Her reprieve is short lived, however, when Vanessa Greenwood, the thief she had just helped catch, mysteriously escapes from prison days before she was due in court.  Worse, she left clues behind; taunting clues designed to grab the attention of both Allison and Joseph.
