About

The past and present collide in this tale of art theft, forgery, and murder

The Past, August 1911: The Mona Lisa is stolen by museum worker Vincent Peruggia. During it two-year absence from the Louvre, replicas of the painting are created and sold as the original by a notorious duo of con artists. Several of these forgeries remain at large, prompting more than one art historian to speculate that the museum might well be displaying a fake.

The Present: Artist and art professor Like Perrone hunts for the truth behind his most infamous ancestor, Peruggia. His search attracts a reckless INTERPOL detective with something to prove, a beautiful woman who may want more than Luke's affection, and a hornet's nest of the most unscrupulous art collectors and thieves.

A gripping novel exploring the secrets of the 1911 theft and dark underbelly of today's art world, The Last Mona Lisa is a story of heart-stopping suspense as romantic and sexy as it is terrifying and thrilling, one that taps into our universal fascination with da Vinci, the authentic and the fake, and people so driven to acquire priceless works of art, they will stop at nothing to possess them—not even murder.
