The Venice Ledger - An Adriana Villa Thriller

A stolen masterpiece. A family destroyed. A secret worth killing for. Operating in the shadows of the art world, she tracks stolen treasures and returns them to their rightful owners. No contracts. No publicity. No trace. But when a routine job in Venice goes sideways—and a nervous dealer dies in her arms—Adriana finds herself holding something far more dangerous than a Roman bronze. A Nazi-era ledger. A coded entry pointing to a lost Vermeer. And a secret that powerful people have killed to protect for eighty years. From the fog-shrouded canals of Venice to the glittering galleries of Amsterdam, from a desperate flight across the Mediterranean to a hidden vault in the Austrian Alps, Adriana must stay one step ahead of ruthless operatives who will stop at nothing to bury the past. At her side: Anna de Vries—a museum curator framed for stealing her own family's painting, with nothing left to lose and everything to prove. Against them: a shadowy organization with roots in the darkest chapter of history, and a conspiracy that reaches higher than either woman can imagine. "Breathless pacing, a whip-smart heroine, and a mystery that spans generations.
