Stockholm, 1999. Madam Zoia, the enigmatic painter on gold, is dead. The last-known survivor of the Romanov court, she leaves behind a house full of paintings, a collection of private papers, and a mystery.

Marcus is to be Zoia's last, triumphant seduction but with time against him, he must lay down his own ghosts to rest - the scandal that ruined him, the tragedy that shattered his childhood - before the priceless truth can come within his grasp.
