In the golden hills of Tuscany, some secrets bloom-and others burn.

When travel writer Grace Whitmore arrives in Montepulciano, she expects olive oil tastings and quiet walks through sunflower fields-not cryptic letters, vanished artists, and war-time whispers buried beneath vineyard soil.

But when a celebrated local painter disappears on the eve of a major exhibition, Grace is drawn into a tangled mystery that spans generations.

From secret studios and hidden frescoes to coded journals and long-lost betrayals, she must follow the clues through ancient ruins, quiet chapels, and stormy nights to uncover a truth no one wants revealed.

As Tuscany's sun-drenched charm hides darker shadows, Grace must decide how far she's willing to go for the truth-especially when the next brushstroke could be her last.

Rich in history, wine, and suspense, this is Grace Whitmore's most personal-and perilous-adventure yet.
