The Zurbarán Connection (Book 34)

Vanishing jewels. A desperate fugitive. Buried secrets. Across small towns and forgotten corners of Europe, a string of jewellery heists barely makes the local news—until the thief walks away with something far more valuable than jewellery: a painting. That single mistake draws Doctor Genevieve Lenard and her team into the case. But the closer they get to the elusive thief, the less this person resembles the criminal they expected. Every choice is deliberate, controlled, almost surgical—and Genevieve's expertise in nonverbal communication tells her there's a story here no one has bothered to ask about. What begins as a straightforward investigation soon uncovers something far more calculated than a series of thefts: a carefully guarded pattern, and people willing to protect it at any cost. As Genevieve peels back one carefully constructed lie after another, she realises the thief was never the real danger at all. Someone is willing to go to any lengths to silence the fugitive—and to stop Genevieve before she uncovers the truth.
