Ethan Muller is struggling to establish his reputation as a dealer in the cut-throat world of contemporary art when he is alerted to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: in a decaying New York slum, an elderly tenant has disappeared, leaving behind a staggeringly large trove of original drawings & paintings. Nobody can tell Ethan much about the old man, except that he came & went in solitude for nearly forty years, his genius hidden & unacknowledged. Despite the fact that, strictly speaking, the artwork doesn't belong to him, Ethan takes the challenge & makes a name for the old man

Sucked into an investigation four decades cold, Ethan will uncover a secret legacy of shame & death, one that will touch horrifyingly close to home
- & leave him fearing for his own life.
