Concealed under decades of decay, a cryptic painting could hold deadly clues in this intoxicating mix of art, murder, and buried secrets, perfect for fans of Simone St. James.It was a blood-curdling crime that rocked the town to its core-and just as the memories are beginning to fade, the murder rears its ugly head again in the form of a heavily damaged painting of the slain girl found in an old parsonage. Conservator Annora Garde is hired by the local police to clean and expose what lies buried within the painting. The world-renowned artist who created the work is long dead, so only the painting can do the talking. But Annora isn't getting any answers. Inspector Scott 'Mac' MacGowan is convinced the work is a cryptic confession that will solve the cold case-but it's looking more and more like someone will do whatever it takes to keep the past in the past. Toxic mold obscures blood-chilling clues, and the painting has an eerie life of its own. Annora is haunted by what she reveals, by the dirt she digs up, by her own tragic losses, and perhaps even by the young victim herself. As she closes in on the killer, they are inching ever closer to her, and she will come face to face with a brutal truth: some murderers never come clean.
