The Case of the Missing Madonna

ebook
A dashing English PI pursues a missing masterpiece and buried wartime secrets across the French Riviera in a "slick thriller with . . . heart-stopping action" (The Crime Review).

Jean-Honoré Fragonard's Madonna is kept safe for the ages in the vaults of a monastery on the French island of St. Honorat—until the painting somehow disappears. Now the monastery has called upon British expat and professional fixer Patrick de Courvoisier to track an untraceable thief and recover the invaluable work of art.

At the same time, an old enemy from Patrick's past with Her Majesty's service has arrived in Cannes to search for another stolen painting. As it becomes clear that the two investigations are linked, Patrick's enquiries put him at odds with his former employers as he uncovers a shocking secret the British Royal family would prefer to keep hidden.

"Full of fascinating history and lush descriptions of the French Riviera, this whodunit will snare readers from the opening page." —Publishers Weekly
