The ruthless and often murky universe of art, plagued by intrigues, forgeries, and profound corruption, with its substantial economic ramifications, is the setting for this captivating narrative. Ken Follett, with his proven mastery in constructing complex plots and memorable characters, plunges us into a race against time. At the center of this labyrinth is Dee, a brilliant young art historian whose meticulous research leads her to the astonishing hypothesis of the existence of a lost masterpiece by Amedeo Modigliani, one of modernity's most enigmatic and celebrated painters, whose scarcity of recognized works exponentially elevates the value of any new find. Her instincts and investigations suggest that the coveted painting could be hidden in a remote and peaceful Italian village, far from the usual auction and gallery circuits. Faced with the magnitude of what could be one of the most important artistic discoveries of the century, Dee rushes to share her suspicions with her uncle Charles, an experienced and astute London gallerist, aware of the immense monetary and cultural value of such a piece. However, news of this potential treasure soon crosses the most exclusive and opaque circles of collecting. Cardwell, an influential and unscrupulous billionaire collector, upon learning of the possibility of the Modigliani, does not hesitate to activate all his resources and connections to organize a relentless operation. His objective is clear and his resolve unwavering: to seize the work at any cost, regardless of the consequences or the means necessary. Review: "The No. 1 master of the thriller." Time
