The Chrysalis

"Fascinating history and assured storytelling" make this art-theft mystery "one of those rare thrillers that both entertain and intrigue" (Tess Gerritsen, New York Times–bestselling author of The Mephisto Club).

When lawyer Mara Coyne lands a career-making case at her powerful Manhattan law firm, she's certain she's on her way to becoming partner. All Mara has to do is prove that the lost Dutch masterwork the prestigious Beazley Auction House is about to sell rightfully belongs to their client, and not Hilda Baum, despite her shocking claim. According to Hilda, the daughter of a Dutch art collector who died in the Holocaust, The Chrysalis was once part of her father's collection.

It's a challenge Mara is more than up for—until she discovers that Beazley's in-house counsel is Michael Roarke, a man who has long had a hold on her heart. But once she is deep into the case—and sparks a secret affair with Michael—she starts to suspect that Hilda Baum's tragic tale is true. And that the man she's falling hard for is not the man he seems.

Spanning centuries and continents, The Chrysalis is a fascinating blend of art and history, a high-stakes mystery that will keep readers enthralled to the very last page.
