He recognizes something everyone else misses. The theft isn't about money. It's about revenge.Now, with time running out and lives hanging in the balance, Ethan must determine whether he's hunting a brilliant criminal or being led exactly where someone wants him to go.In a world where art is worth millions and truth is nearly priceless, the greatest forgery may not be the painting. It may be the story everyone believes.
