Join Parker, a consulting detective for the Archdiocese of New York, as he looks into the murder of a senior associate from a politically connected law firm. Parker finds himself thrown into the mix of the highest echelons of the New York legal industry and the Art World including international dealers, private collectors and major museums. But things are not quite what they seem. After following a labyrinth of lies, Parker discovers that the deception and deceit are the direct result of the ongoing fall-out of Bernie Madoff’s massive Ponzi Scheme and the black market sale of masterpieces plundered by the Nazis during the dark days of the Second World War – Holocaust Art.
