When an aristocratic old lady is brutally murdered in her English country home on the night before September 11, 2001, it will take all the resources of the FBI and Interpol to work out the connection between her death and a priceless Van Gogh, which is stolen that night. But in the end, it is a courageous young woman who escapes from North Tower of the World Trade Center who has the foresight and determination to take on both sides of the law and avenge the old lady's death. In his first thriller since The Eleventh Commandment, international bestselling author Jeffrey Archer takes the reader on a breathtaking journey, leading back to the question of why so many people are willing to risk their lives to own Van Gogh's "Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear." And it's not just because it could be worth one hundred million dollars.
