From the author of Multiple Exposure, an “assured tale of love, loss, and secret agendas” (Publishers Weekly),
comes the second novel in the thrilling Sophie Medina series, following
a photojournalist as she races to find an international treasure before
a murderer finds her.
When freelance photojournalist
Sophie Medina finds Brother Kevin Boyle, a Franciscan friar and
controversial environmentalist, dead in the magnificent gardens of a
Washington, DC monastery, she is sure her friend was murdered. Shortly
before he died, Kevin told Sophie he was being stalked, possibly because
he uncovered a botanic discovery potentially worth millions of dollars.
Left with few clues to his secret, Sophie is determined to figure out
who killed Kevin.
Beginning with a key that leads
to a priceless original seventeenth-century encyclopedia of plants,
Sophie leaps into an international treasure hunt following a trail that
begins in the US Capitol and eventually leads to London and the English
countryside. Before long Sophie suspects Kevin’s murderer may have been
someone who knew him well. With time running out and a suspect list that
includes the world’s leading botanical experts and political royalty
from both sides of the Atlantic, can Sophie solve the
two-hundred-year-old mystery before Kevin’s killer finds her?
A tale of greed and betrayal involving politicians, diplomats, European royalty, and a century-old monastery, Ghost Image
is filled with political intrigue, history, and an international
high-stakes race against a killer that will keep you guessing until the
very last page.
