"Art historian Vicky Bliss...has the brain of an Einstein, the reckless courage of a test pilot -- and no one's more savvy about fine works of art. For example: the gold pendant her boss at Munich's National Museum is currently dangling in front of her....was found, along with a note written in hieroglyphs, sewn into the suit pocket of an unidentified man lying dead in an alley. There's a murderous puzzle to unravel...even if the search carries her to the ends of the Earth. Instead, it's pointing her toward Rome...But it's also pulling her into a treacherous game of intrigue where the stakes could not be higher: Vicky's life!"--P. [4] of cover.
