When art authenticator Elena discovers the legendary Marcus Levine—the man she believes destroyed her mother's career and drove her to ruin—is hiring for his elite restoration crew, she sees her chance for revenge. She'll infiltrate his world of million-dollar masterpieces and shadowy collectors, expose his crimes, and watch his empire crumble. But working alongside Marcus in his private atelier reveals a man far more complex than the villain she'd imagined, and when she uncovers a hidden letter in her mother's belongings, everything she thought she knew begins to unravel. The deeper Elena digs into the past, the more she realizes the real forgery might be the story she's been telling herself for years. Some secrets are painted over for a reason—and some truths are more dangerous than lies.
