'A cleverly woven tapestry of a book that enmeshes us in the glittering, deceptive world of international art and the super-rich. An eye-opening, page-turning literary thriller. Brilliant' Anna Mazzola, The Book of Secrets

The most beautiful lives hide the ugliest truths . . .

When lauded journalist Helena Van Noten is offered the exclusive story that could save her hard-won career, she must travel from London to sun-drenched Menorca to cover the opening of an exhibition by the mysterious Sophia Bamford. Sophia hasn't been seen in public since her New York socialite parents died in a helicopter crash years earlier. Now, the eyes of the world are on her.
As Helena finds herself drawn into the spotlight, what began as a lifeline quickly becomes dangerous. The deeper she digs, the more she uncovers a web of lies, imaginary fortunes, and false identities constructed as carefully as the art she writes about. Long buried secrets are stirring, and someone will go to any length to keep them hidden.
From the author of The End of Summer comes a dazzling literary thriller that sweeps readers into the glittering yet sinister world of international art, via the mega-yachts of the global elite. This is a story of deception, ambition, and a secret worth dying for.
