Interpol agent Ana Reisner has big problems.

She's been ordered by the president of France to solve a murder that hasn't happened yet and recover a stolen item that the owner refuses to name. Worse, she must work with an ultrasexy former thief-;a man she could end up arresting-and she's receiving warnings from what Ana can only believe is a ghost.

To solve the puzzle, Ana must uncover the truth about her own connection to a lost cult of women, the caretakers of the Black Madonna icon. But as she turns from hunter into prey, Ana realizes that her unknown legacy might just be her death warrant-and that some things are worth dying for.
