Lost & Found - The Da Vinci Sketches
History has a way of disappearing. Ethan Coldwell has made a career out of finding it.
Brilliant, obsessive, and more comfortable surrounded by forgotten documents than ordinary people, Ethan is pulled back into the field when his former partner Jane Hamon arrives with an extraordinary discovery. A struggling California family recently sold an old sketchbook for five hundred dollars after an art evaluation company dismissed it as a worthless imitation.
There is just one problem.
Ethan believes the sketchbook may contain lost works by Leonardo da Vinci-and someone may have known exactly what it was worth.
Joined by Lucas, Ethan's sharp-eyed prot g , and Blue, a formidable pilot whose loyalty is matched only by his ability to survive trouble, Ethan and Jane head west to uncover the truth. What begins as an investigation into art fraud quickly becomes something far more dangerous.
The deeper the team digs, the clearer it becomes that the sketchbook is caught in a web of private collectors, high-dollar auctions, calculated deception, hidden agendas, and people willing to use intimidation and violence to control a piece of history worth millions. Authenticating the drawings is only part of the challenge. Ethan must determine who can be trusted, who is manipulating the investigation, and whether recovering the artwork will actually return it to the people who were cheated out of it.
Meanwhile, working beside Jane again forces Ethan to confront something even his remarkable mind has never been able to solve: the unresolved relationship between them and the feelings neither completely left behind.
Lost & Found - The Da Vinci Sketches is a fast-moving art-crime mystery combining historical secrets, forensic investigation, stolen art, high-stakes auctions, action, humor, and a team of memorable characters determined to recover what history-and greed-have taken away.
Because some treasures are worth far more than money. And some pieces of history are only waiting to be found.
