In 1969, six masterpieces were stolen from a wealthy art collector. The paintings by Cassatt, Cézanne, Gauguin, Monet, Picasso, and Van Gogh were never found.
Kit Sedgwick, granddaughter of the victim, recently inherited Witherly Mansion. This is where the theft took place. She hires art dealer Amanda Edge to look into the crime. According to rumors, the paintings were never sold in the illegal market. Amanda’s investigation makes those rumors seem more likely, and two art syndicates go after the long-lost art cache.
Beyond encountering dangerous criminals, a supernatural entity impedes the investigation. It may be linked to an Abstract painter who lived at Witherly Mansion and was obsessed with the occult. Their only living connection to the theft is an old friend of Kit’s grandfather. But she incessantly discourages Amanda and Kit from continuing the investigation. To solve the case, Amanda must confront two underworlds: one of criminals and the other of ghosts.
