Synopsis

They did the worst thing you can do to a woman... and only sweet, sweet revenge will do.

Ever rebellious, the reformed European art thief takes on two assailants who stole a gem from her more precious than any work of art—leading her hot on their tails in an international mystery that blends eastern European intrigue with page-turning psychological suspense.

Mikky dos Santos is a changed woman. The ex-forger has traded her life of crime for domestic bliss—these days she's an aspiring portrait photographer but at a birthday celebration in an idyllic Spanish villa, tragedy strikes.
Mikky embarks on a one-woman quest of vigilante justice, tracking the thieves through Spain, Poland, and Estonia, and enlisting help from her past life in the European underworld—much to the delight of armchair travellers and fans of fierce female sleuths, alike. But it's not long before she realizes the art thieves aren't at all who they'd seemed—and her vendetta becomes unimaginably dangerous.

Set in Barcelona (Spain), Wroclaw (Poland) and Tallinn (Estonia) – this international fast paced action packed novel will keep you spell bound.

Mikky's combination of vulnerability and strength will appeal to fans of female protagonists and readers of crime thrillers in the style of Donna Leon, Estelle Ryan, Laura Morelli, CJ Lyons and Carmen Armato.

★★★★★ “An excellent crime thriller with a well written plot and good believable characters. A fast paced read that is a real page turner. An interesting read that also teaches us the nature of art. An interesting read that I would highly recommend.”

★★★★★ "I thoroughly enjoyed this exciting and fast paced book with Mikky De Santos, Josephine, Eduardo and some new likeable characters. The action begins immediately and escalates through the story. The author is not afraid to tug at the readers emotions. Lots of twists and turns. When you think you have it figured out, you are taken off in another direction.”

★★★★★ “Wow! I don't know anything about art, but this was a spectacular book. The creative ideas and insights were amazing and very realistic to me. I loved the characters and Mikki just gets better and better at what she sets her mind to. I loved the whole thought process and how the truth finally gets revealed.”
