In a world of stolen identities and forged masterpieces, trust is the deadliest illusion.

Dr. Emma Collier's life shatters when a woman wearing her face turns up dead.

An art history professor who spent her career chasing truth in masterpieces, Emma discovers someone has stolen her identity to open bank accounts, authenticate forged paintings, and fund a global terror network. The man she loved? He orchestrated it all-and now an international crime syndicate wants her dead, and the FBI wants her behind bars for the sins of her lover in this gripping psychological thriller about identity theft, art crime, and betrayal.

With her life in ruins and nowhere to run, Emma has one unlikely ally: Aunt Mary, an eighty-year-old pistol-packing force of nature fresh from the nursing home. Sharp-witted and utterly fearless, Mary may be Emma's only hope of survival as they race to expose a vast criminal empire built on money laundering, real estate fraud, and hundreds of forged artworks hanging in museums across the world.

From the shadowy world of international art crime to a deadly game of cat and mouse across two continents, Emma must reclaim her stolen identity before the killers silence her forever. But in a world where masterpieces fund mass murder and love is just another con, who can she trust in this fast-paced murder mystery with shocking twists?

Perfect for readers of Daniel Silva's The Heist, Lisa Gardner's Say Goodbye, Karin Slaughter's Pieces of Her, Tess Gerritsen's The Bone Garden, and Alafair Burke's The Wife-a relentless psychological thriller where betrayal cuts deeper than any blade.
