THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, SOON TO BE A MOVIE PRODUCED BY AND STARRING SHARON STONE A BUZZFEED MUST-READ FOR 222 A young journalist embroiled in an international art scandal centred around a Nazi-looted masterpiece, forcing the ultimate showdown between passion and possession, lovers and liars, history and truth. After talking her way into a job in Chicago, young journalist Jules Roth is given an unusual assignment: locate a painting stolen by the Nazis more than 75 years ago. The painting? None other than legendary artist Ernst Engel’s most famous work, Woman on Fire. A dying designer covets the portrait for deeply personal reasons. Jules doesn’t have much time. Meanwhile, in Europe, Margaux de Laurent: powerful heir to her family’s millions: also searches for the painting. A cunning gallerist who gets everything she wants, the only thing standing in her way is Jules. Yet Jules has resources of her own, including the designer’s grandson, Adam. A recovering addict and artist in his own right, Adam was once in Margaux’s clutches, and he’ll do anything to help Jules locate the painting first. Woman on Fire is a thrilling tale of secrets, love, sacrifice and an exquisite work of art that burns bright, moving through hands, hearts and history. ___________ PRAISE FOR WOMAN ON FIRE: ‘Part-thriller, part-historical fiction, this book will have you gripping the pages until the very end’ Buzzfeed ‘Addictively propulsive and laced with rapid-fire twists and turns, this sizzling tale crackles with tension’ Kristin Harmel ‘Thick with history, scandal, romance and deceit… A truly compulsive read’ Mary Kubica ‘An exuberant thriller laced with sex, art, and history’ Alyson Richman ‘Had me on the edge of my seat’ Fiona Davis
