Vince Conte was a New York cop until he punched the senior officer having an affair with his wife. Forced to resign, he’s bored by his work for a private security firm. Tony Murano was a tennis player dating the daughter of royalty. Then his career faltered and his girlfriend got pregnant. Now Murano is under his father-in-law’s thumb, unable to find the investors he needs to become a businessman in his own right. When tabloids all over Europe publish pictures of his poolside tryst with an anonymous woman on the day his wife gave birth to the royal heir, Murano’s father-in-law is all too glad to dismiss him. His young wife is heartbroken, though, and her mother decides to investigate. Who arranged the photos? What was the true motive?
Assigned to the job, Conte finds himself a target as he follows a trail of photographs and money that takes him to Italy, Amsterdam, Monaco, and back.

"Few authors are [Daley’s] equal in portraying the workings of the criminal mind and the motivations of the police."—The Kansas City Star
When photographs of a duchess’s husband cavorting with another woman are spread across every scandal magazine in Europe, a dynasty’s image is at stake. Who is the woman? Who is the photographer? And who made sure the pictures would be taken? Ex-NYPD captain Vincent Conte is hired to find out. But as an investigation that takes him to Milan, Amsterdam, the French Riviera, Rome, and the high Alps turns dangerous, Conte realizes that pictures aren’t the only things that lie.
