The Gilded Lie
(2026)(The fourth book in the Harrington And Danbury Mysteries series)
A novel by Robert Lancaster
he robbery was planned. The murder was necessary. The forgeries were flawless.
Someone built this network carefully — and they're not finished.
Edinburgh. A gallery owner is dead and twelve paintings are missing — but private investigators Evelyn Harrington and Lionel Danbury quickly realise the robbery was no opportunistic crime. Every stolen work traces back to one name: a shadowy Viennese dealer called Victor Szabo.
Bath. A property developer's death has been ruled an accident. The investigating officer is corrupt. And a buried evidence file suggests the two cases are more connected than anyone realised.
Then Szabo makes his move — and it isn't a threat. It's a kidnapping.
With Lionel's daughter in danger and the truth finally within reach, Evelyn and Lionel race from Edinburgh to Bath to the storm-battered shores of Shetland in a race against a man who has been three steps ahead from the beginning.
The Gilded Lie is the fourth gripping instalment in the Harrington & Danbury Mysteries — a masterclass in deception, where nothing is what it seems and the gilded surface always conceals a lie.
Genre: Mystery
