The Missing Piece

“A masterful story of murder, corruption, and sexual obsession, with the tension meter on high” from the author of Midnight and A Shattered Circle (Booklist). For law clerk Linda Conover, who studied art in college, her boss’s new case is close to her heart. The ownership of an ancient Roman silver urn—part of a treasure valued at seventy million dollars—is being contested by the governments of Croatia and Hungary and the Earl of Leinster. But before opening arguments even begin, the trial is over. Two masked gunmen break into the courtroom and steal the urn, leaving a wounded court officer in their wake. Three years later, the case is brought back to trial, and Linda, now a judge, finds herself presiding. The artifact is still missing and repercussions from the shooting remain, unleashing a deadly obsession that corrupts or kills everyone it touches. And now Linda is within its reach . . . “A tense thriller that will keep you up until the wee hours.” —Suspense Magazine “Brisk and suspenseful. John Grisham with a dash of men’s adventure and Dan Brown.” —Noir Journal
