Book Synopsis
A masterpiece swapped for a forgery, a murder victim left behind, and a relentless game of hide and seek all work to keep Laurel Beacham and Jack Hawkes on the run as they race to find answers and locate their quarry–despite roadblocks at every turn. This time the chase crisscrosses the Atlantic, as they pursue threads to murders and thefts that extend from the current day and back several decades.

A startling forgery points toward an unexpected new nemesis to contend with, and the team pursues a Paris forger for additional clues. When evidence starts falling into place, Laurel must use her connections and engage an unconventional resource to help bring an arrogant murderer to justice for crimes both contemporary and long past. Crimes that tie both personally and professionally to the Beacham name. While the ruthless criminal’s acts include art history ties, the threat to Laurel is a clear and present danger. It will take every trick and technique she and Jack can conjure to gain the evidence necessary to nab their enemy and start pulling down his empire—before he takes them down instead.

Bronzed Betrayals is the fifth title in the fast-paced Bodies of Art Mystery series from USA TODAY bestselling author Ritter Ames. The series features art heists, international settings and intrigue, and globetrotting over-the-top adventure with engaging characters focused on solving captivating crimes.
