A stolen masterpiece. A dangerous old secret. And Miss Henry forced back into a world she thought she had left behind.
Juliet Henry is no fan of blackmail. She dislikes threats, manipulation, and being pushed into other people's schemes even more. But when the price of getting her passport back is cooperation, Juliet finds herself with little choice but to accept a favor she never wanted to owe.
She only wanted to attend an important art show in Mexico.
Instead, she is drawn into a shadowy investigation involving the NSA, a powerful host with a monstrous past, and a private art collection rumored to contain treasures stolen during one of history's darkest chapters.
The assignment sounds simple enough: determine whether the wealthy Nazi war criminal hosting the event possesses a rare and priceless work of art hidden among his stolen collection.
But nothing about the situation is simple.
The deeper Juliet looks, the more dangerous the questions become. What else is hidden behind the host's polished manners and carefully curated walls? Who knows the truth about the stolen artwork? Who is willing to kill to keep the past buried? And why has Juliet been chosen to walk into the middle of it?
Surrounded by artists, collectors, spies, opportunists, and people with secrets worth protecting, Juliet must rely on her sharp eye, quick wit, and old instincts to separate genuine art from clever forgery, truth from performance, and friend from enemy.
But in a world built on stolen beauty and buried crimes, one wrong question could make Juliet the next thing to disappear.
Drowning Pool, the eighth book in the Miss Henry Cozy Mystery Series, delivers a stylish blend of cozy mystery charm, art-world intrigue, espionage, historical secrets, international suspense, and clever amateur sleuthing. Perfect for readers who enjoy smart heroines, dangerous secrets, stolen art, exotic settings, and mysteries where the past refuses to stay dead.
Miss Henry wanted to go on a trip to Mexico.
What she gets is a deadly game of art, blackmail, and revenge.
And this time, the truth may be worth killing for.
