Marion Spicer inherited her father’s collection of pre-Columbian art. There is a catch to her inheritance. She must find three sculptures missing from the collection in order to collect it. If she fails to collect the final three, the collection goes to the museum curator. Someone does not want her to find the pieces and there are several attempts on her life.

The book has a fast pace, the characters are not very developed, and it is written in the third person point of view. This is a French book translated to English. I loved the concept of finding the missing art pieces and the possibility of forgeries. There is a lot if intrigue and action with Marion’s life in danger. If you like mystery thrillers with an art theme, you may like this one.
