About this title

Synopsis

A master forger known only as the Ghost has spent a decade replacing priceless works of art with flawless imitations—never triggering alarms, never leaving fingerprints, and never getting caught.

Until now.

When a stolen painting reveals a hidden signature, CIA Agent Caleb Carter is forced to bring in the one person who sees what others miss: his sister Ayla, an art conservator with an uncanny ability to read truth through brushstrokes, pigment, and intent. Partnered with the unflappable and razor-sharp Agent Evan Kinoshita, Ayla is pulled into an investigation where art theft is only the surface crime.

As the trail leads back to Ayla’s former mentor and a prodigy who vanished years ago, the case turns deeply personal. The Ghost isn’t just stealing art—he’s rewriting legacies, exposing buried secrets, and testing Ayla herself. Each message he leaves behind is a challenge. Each forgery, a question.

Is Ayla meant to stop him—

—or to join him?

In a world where beauty can be weaponized and truth can be painted over, some crimes aren’t meant to be erased… only reframed.
