As Europe is sliding into the precipice of war, the undercover MI5 agent infiltrates the world of Art in Paris of 1911 to investigate the grand theft of the century and to reveal potential danger to the security of the nation. Crossing paths with Picasso, Ravel, Modigliani and other celebrities of the Belle poque brings forth their Muses, who happen to be the adventurous women from Russia. Through the prism of their serendipitous encounters, woven in the canvas of this book, the author presents a cross section of the European history and culture, well spiced with romance and a detective intrigue.
