An undiscovered van Gogh portrait in her inherited Iowa farmhouse? Cate doesn’t believe it. But someone does. And that someone wants the painting.
Cate James tells stories. It’s her job; she ghostwrites the autobiographies of celebrities. The irony is that she has no story of her own to tell.
She doesn’t know much about her past. She doesn’t know why her fingerprints would match the records of a child reported kidnapped and never found, or why a stranger would bequeath her a farm in Iowa’s most backwards town. And she sure doesn’t know why there would be an undiscovered Vincent van Gogh portrait hanging on the parlor wall.
But a man with a gun knows the answers, and he would rather shoot than tell.
