About this book

Jane Ward believes her painting is a Van Gogh, but only one man will believe her—a man with a dangerous past. When the owners of the Firth Gallery invite her to bring her painting, The Lover, to Switzerland, it seems like a second chance after a high school accident derailed her promising future twelve years earlier. On her first night in Geneva, the painting disappears, and Jane suspects the Firths are responsible. Determined to recover it, Jane travels to a dying village in the high Alps, where she meets an enigmatic man living in a château. There she discovers a history of lies, murder, and a profound injustice connected to the art world. As she investigates, Jane uncovers the truth about her past and her painting—and learns of an epic love affair between Vincent Van Gogh and a mysterious woman who inspired what may be his greatest work. This dual-timeline historical mystery, set in Provence and the Alps, draws inspiration from Van Gogh's years in France. The novel includes book club questions.
