Lorcan Greene, wealthy gallery owner and expert forgery-spotter, is hired by Detective Braine of the Art Fraud Squad to investigate a tip-off in Oxford. But Lorcan gets more than he bargains for, falling in love with talented art student Frederica Delacroix. But what’s she hiding and could she even be involved in forgery herself?
Who’s real and who’s fake?
Meanwhile, a murder mystery weekend is being held at St Bede’s College. However, someone is using it as a cover to steal a priceless painting from the college. Two members of the cast, Reeve and Annis, fall madly in love, but they’re in danger of more than just having their hearts broken.
In a thrilling finale, full of breathtaking intrigue and romance, who will turn out to be a fraud, faker, or even a murderer?
