Set in Rome, the reader is drawn into the murky world of fine art and obsession. Here the plot revolves around lost works by Caravaggio. Leo Falcone and Nic Costa, already well known to many readers, are in pursuit of a violent, aristocratic villain. They are an attractive partnership, while Hewson taps into the Dan Brown world of fine art, symbols and secrecy to create a tense thriller that carries the reader along. Enjoyable.
