Legacy
Callaway Wilde is woken in the middle of the night by an intruder in her bedroom. When she foils him from stealing a valuable painting, she and her fiance, Detective Evan Paley, try to determine why the thief would chose that painting over the far more valuable ones in her collection. When a close friend and Italian diplomat is the victim of a shooting on their very doorstep, they realize that the nature of the crime is far more sinister than they first suspected. On the trail of the shooter, they begin to uncover a crime that began in WW2 with the betrayal of an innocent child hiding from the Nazis and the fabulous collection of art that her family hid from the occupying forces before loosing their lives. They travel to Venice, and search the past for clues, finding far more than they expected. Along the way, their relationship strengthens, and the trust of an old and noble family crumbles as the truth comes slowly to light.
Interspersed, for the first time, with scenes from that distant past and the brave children who endured the war in their very homes, this book will take readers on a journey into a time too recent and too brutal to be forgotten.
