Together with seasoned art historian Harrison Wheatley, the two begin their quest to uncover what they can about Delany's collection.What begins as an academic exercise quickly escalates to something much more sinister. When Helen is brutally murdered and Erika is anonymously warned to drop the assignment, they press on undeterred to uncover the culprits and find justice for Helen.Their dogged determination to find Helen's killer as well as the stolen artwork lead them to what may be an historical find.
