EVERY DETECTIVE MUST CHOOSE A PATH:FOLLOW THE LIGHT OR STEP INTO THE DARK . . . The thrilling final book in the Sunday Times bestselling Detective Jack Warr series. Detective Jack leads Scotland Yard's fledgling art fraud unit, its survival hinging on exposing a suspected forgery - a multimillion-dollar masterpiece. When his informant, gallerist Ester Langton, is brutally murdered, Jack's hunt spirals into obsession. Clues point to Adam Border, a reclusive genius hiding in a decayed Sicilian villa haunted by Mafia ties and violent secrets. As Jack abandons family and duty to pursue him, he's drawn into a world where brilliance and madness collide, masterpieces mask psychosis, and death stalks every shadow.
