Véronique Berri’s life is complicated. She’s been trying unsuccessfully to give up her life as a cat burglar. Trying to keep herself occupied, she’s given tours at the Musée d’Orsay and now she’s working on earning her doctorate in art history. But tempting opportunities for theft keep presenting themselves and Véronique is finding it hard not to fall off the wagon. When she’s invited to a re-creation of Yves Klein’s Monotone Symphony at a prominent Paris art gallery, she contemplates stealing one of Klein’s paintings that she saw earlier, but when she’s about to take it, she finds it’s now been switched with a fake. Things go from bad to worse when the body of art historian Thérèse Durand is found with a rolled painting in her hand, naked and painted International Klein Blue, a color patented by the famed artist. When Véronique sees a man who looks suspiciously like her lover, Andrew McFadden leave the scene of the crime, she wonders what else could possibly go wrong. She soon finds out when this same man follows her home, and she realizes the man is not Andrew who is still missing from her life. As circumstances pull Véronique towards the crime, and as the circles of suspects widen, Véronique fears she could be the next victim found dead, painted blue.
