Murder in the Palace of Kings. A trail of secrets. A hunt for lost masterpieces.True facts.
When an art dealer is found murdered inside the legendary Château de Fontainebleau—the once-grand palace of France’s kings near Paris—whispers begin to circulate. Was he close to uncovering two missing masterpieces, one by Leonardo da Vinci, the other by Michelangelo?
As powerful forces awaken and more bodies fall, it becomes clear: someone will stop at nothing to claim the priceless paintings.
But who will unlock the truth first?

Based on real history with meticulously researched true facts, this atmospheric thriller dives deep into the shadows of art, ambition, and murder.
A must-read for fans of historical thrillers, hidden art, and ancient conspiracies.
"As thrilling as Dan Brown."
"I couldn’t put it down."
"I love Cariello."
