The Art of Deception

The Art of Deception

A murdered art dealer. A vanished secret. A conspiracy hidden behind wealth, power, and deception.

When Detective Nora Flynn is called to an exclusive Manhattan art gala, she expects another high-profile crime scene. What she finds is far more dangerous.

Graham Mercer, a powerful art dealer with dangerous connections, is found dead beneath his own unfinished painting. His office has been ransacked. Files are missing. Papers have been burned. Security footage has been erased.

Someone did not just want Mercer dead.

They wanted his secrets destroyed.

As Nora follows the evidence through forged records, offshore accounts, charity money, political donors, and hidden power brokers, she uncovers the first traces of a shadowy network known only as Orpheus.

But the deeper Nora digs, the more dangerous the case becomes. Witnesses are threatened. Evidence is manipulated. A convenient suspect is pushed forward. And Nora begins to realize that Mercer’s murder may be only one small piece of a much larger conspiracy.

To solve the case, Nora must expose the truth before powerful people bury it forever.

The Art of Deception is Book 2 in the Nora Flynn Mysteries series. Each mystery tells a complete story, but the larger Orpheus conspiracy builds from book to book. For the best reading experience, start with Book 1, The Alibi Club, and continue the series in order.
