The Vanishing Vermeer in Vienna. Grace Whitmore Mystery, #18

In the dead of night, beneath the gilded chandeliers of a grand European gallery, a masked figure slips through the shadows-and vanishes with one of the world's most priceless masterpieces. But this is no ordinary theft. The painting holds a secret-one buried beneath centuries of varnish and deception. When art historian Claire Halden receives a mysterious note about a long-lost collection hidden within the brushstrokes of stolen works, she's thrust into a deadly chase across cities, archives, and secrets long forgotten.
With the help of a reluctant thief and a trail of coded messages, Claire must unravel a mystery that could rewrite history-or silence her forever. A gripping art-heist thriller where beauty hides betrayal, and every frame holds a clue.
