When a Fabergé egg surfaces in a London market, it sets off a chain reaction that pulls Deputy Headteacher Matt Yates into a world of deception and high-stakes pursuit, as Yates finds himself hunted by forces beyond anything he could have imagined.
Enter DCI Jacob Vance and DCI Brittany Shepherd: two seasoned investigators with a history of uncovering London’s darkest secrets. As the egg’s value becomes clear, so does the trail of blood that stretches from back-alley galleries to elite art houses, and across international borders to Monaco, Paris, and beyond.
As secrets unravel, Vance and Shepherd uncover a web of art trafficking and organized crime. But the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes that this is no ordinary case. Global powers are at play, with deadly consequences.
A fast-paced detective thriller, THE LONDON ART MURDERS is the tenth book in the Vance And Shepherd Mysteries series by John Broughton.
