Her London colleagues find her distant and mysterious, her cool beauty the topic of conversations around its quiet halls. No one could imagine that she is a desperately damaged woman, hiding her trauma behind her chic, French image. It is only when some dramatic Byzantine pearls are loaned to the Museum that Severine's poise is dashed and the tightly controlled life she's built around herself is shattered. Her shocking revelation of their provenance sets off a frenzied hunt for Nazi Ruda Mayek. Mossad's interest is triggered and one of its most skilled agents comes out of retirement to join the hunt, while the one person who can help Severine - the solicitor handling the pearls - is bound by client confidentiality. As she follows Mayek's trail, there is still one lifelong secret for her to reveal - and one for her to discover. From the snowy woodlands outside Prague to the Tuileries of Paris and the heather-covered moors of Yorkshire comes a confronting and heart-stopping novel that explores whether love and hope can ever overpower atrocity in a time of war and hate. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Art theft $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Art museum curators $v Fiction. 650 0 $a War criminals $z Germany $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Secrecy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1938-1945 $v Fiction. 650 4 $a Art thefts $v Fiction. 650 4 $a Secrecy $v Fiction. 650 4 $a World War, 1939-1945 $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Art museum curators. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815624 650 7 $a Secrecy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01110644 650 7 $a War criminals. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170469 651 7 $a Germany. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210272 655 4 $a Australian fiction $y 21st century. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726755 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20200403011927.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CE1001D8757211EA9A5BA35697128E48 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
