The Van Mieris Connection (Book 33) by Estelle Ryan

A hidden masterpiece. Online stardom. Diplomatic secrets.

When a member of her team grows uneasy about a familiar face behaving strangely on camera, Doctor Genevieve Lenard's analysis of the footage reveals something far more troubling than exhaustion or stress. What starts as simple concern takes an unexpected turn when another team member spots a detail in the background that shouldn't be there at all — a painting that vanished from public record years ago.

The trail leads Genevieve and her team into the world of a business built on discretion, beauty, and control, run by people who have spent years earning the trust of the wealthy and influential. As the case deepens, they realise they aren't just chasing a theft. They're circling something with roots reaching into embassies and institutions across the globe, protected by relationships far more powerful than any of them expected.

Genevieve has faced ruthless enemies before. She has never faced one this patient, this composed, or this certain of victory. What she and her team are about to uncover will test every skill she has — and this time, walking away unscathed may not be an option.
