Publisher Description
What happens in Paris does not stay in Paris. A police detective places her career at risk, when she decides to help a wealthy man search for a woman who has been missing for seven years.
Philip Lewellan discovers a mysterious painting. He’s sure it’s proof his missing wife is alive … and may be living somewhere with a child, his daughter. The thought of being a father is more than enough to get Philip to turn to the one person who might believe him.
Sandra Copeland, the original detective assigned to the missing-persons case, chased far too many bogus leads, after Philip—against her advice—offered a million dollar reward. Legitimate private investigators quit taking Philip’s money. Nothing could be found, or any evidence to indicate Renée might be alive. Copeland is not about to reopen an inactive seven-year-old missing-persons case based on what could only be another bogus lead. That is, until she sees a photo of the oil painting Philip has found in a New York art gallery. Their investigation unearths a staggering conspiracy impossible to believe, or to ignore.
Not just another missing wife story, this gripping tale mixes elements of mystery, romance, and danger, bringing a thrilling new twist to an old tale of greed and vice.
Customer Reviews
Great read but.....
I thought this book was a great read from beginning to end however whoever edited this book should be thrown out of the business. There were so many misspelled words and grammatical errors I lost count. Too bad because an author this good deserves much better.
BOOK NEEDS AN EDITOR!
So I am about half-way through the book, and there are times I just want to delete it from my iPad due to the ridiculous number of typographical errors! Incorrect words used, commas where there should be none, and more. Admittedly, I am enjoying the overall premise of the story, but the errors at times make it difficult to read.
