Overview

The Case of the Missing Masterpiece When Augustus Whitmore, London's most enigmatic art collector, is found dead in his mansion and a priceless Baroque painting vanishes without a trace, Detective Eliza Harrow is called into a world where beauty is a currency-and betrayal, a signature. As Harrow unravels a trail through exclusive galleries, shadowy dealers, and forgers who wield brushes like weapons, she discovers that The Sorrow of Saint Cecilia-a masterpiece thought lost for over a century-may not be what it seems. The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes: someone will kill not just to possess the painting, but to bury its origin forever. Across Europe, an elusive art broker known only as Sabine Hall races to uncover the painting's true history. With every city she crosses and every secret she uncovers, Sabine edges closer to the truth-and to Harrow, who's determined to stop the next murder before the canvas runs red again. A taut, atmospheric mystery blending art, legacy, and obsession, The Case of the Missing Masterpiece is a story of forgeries, loyalties, and the lies we preserve in gold-leaf frames. The Library of Smoke When a fire breaks out in Oxford's most secure rare book archive and a lost notebook by poet William Blake is stolen, Detective Eliza Harrow is plunged into a literary conspiracy older than the Enlightenment-and far more dangerous. The notebook contains more than forgotten verses. It may hold the key to a ritual Blake never published: a poetic act meant not to inspire, but to undo creation itself. As Harrow follows a trail of coded manuscripts and secret societies from London to Prague, she encounters Rafael Vale, a charismatic scholar who plans to read the verses aloud in a performance that could change reality. To stop him, Eliza must decipher Blake's intentions-and decide whether silence is more powerful than the truth. A blend of thriller, occult mystery, and literary noir, The Library of Smoke is a story about the power of words, the cost of belief, and the verses we must refuse to read.
