The Parisian Heist [Large Print]

By Jo Piazza

Book Overview

From the bestselling author of The Sicilian Inheritance and Everyone Is Lying to You comes a propulsive dual-timeline mystery drenched in art-world intrigue and brimming with family secrets, betrayal, and the intoxicating lure of power.

Emma, a struggling American artist in Paris, thought she had left her dreams behind when she took a job cleaning for the city's wealthy elite. Then she meets Stella Swanson, the widow of one of the most notorious art dealers in the business. The Swansons move in a world where billionaires, oligarchs, and heads of state pay fortunes for masterpieces. Drawn in by their dazzling wealth and the pull of a dangerously charming grandson, Emma becomes both a player and a pawn in a family battle to protect their empire and conceal its crimes.

In the late 1800s, Jo van Gogh is left penniless and widowed with an infant son. Her only hope lies in convincing the art world that her inheritance--hundreds of paintings by her troubled brother-in-law Vincent--are valuable. With the help of a new friend she begins to succeed, until a painting vanishes and she realizes she's been betrayed.

From glittering auction houses to the idyllic canals of Amsterdam and the grand museums of Paris, the lives of these two women converge as Emma uncovers the Swanson family's darkest secrets and agrees to mastermind a daring heist inside the Mus e d'Orsay. The stakes have never been higher, and these women refuse to be written out of history, no matter the cost.
