Every Masterpiece Hides a Secret
When renowned artist Eliza Warren is found dead in her studio, there’s no sign of violence. But her expression is one of pure terror. Annie O’Malley & DI Joe Swift have seen a lot of crime scenes, but nothing like this. Eliza wasn’t just killed—she was frightened to death.
At the centre of the studio sits an unfinished portrait, its subject haunting. But when Annie starts asking questions, the painting vanishes and the case takes a darker turn.
The woman in the portrait is linked to an unsolved disappearance from twenty years ago—that of Margot Grayson, who was last seen in the orbit of powerful art collector Edward Brannon.
As Annie and Swift dig deeper, they realise someone is determined to keep Margot’s story buried. Witnesses are silenced. The past is rewritten. And then, another body appears—posed like a work of art.
Somewhere in Eliza’s stolen painting lies the truth. A truth someone is willing to kill for.
Can O’Malley and Swift find the ghost portrait and find Eliza’s killer before one of their team becomes the next macabre exhibition?
The Ghost Portrait: The twelfth instalment in the best-selling O'Malley & Swift series, is a thrilling cat and mouse tale of obsession and fantasy. Perfect for readers of Alex Smith, JD Kirk, and LJ Ross.
