Deception. Theft. Murder. All you need is confidence. A brand new escapist thriller from the award-winning author of Conviction *FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF CONVICTION* 'Such a delight- playful, fast-paced, and entirely compulsive' Ann Cleeves 'Denise Mina is crime writing royalty' Val McDermid 'Denise Mina is the cream of the crop, an author who pushes the crime novel in new and exciting directions' Ian Rankin DECEPTION. THEFT. MURDER. ALL YOU NEED IS CONFIDENCE. When amateur film-maker Lisa Lee vanishes from a Scottish seaside town, journalists Anna and Fin find themselves at the centre of an internet frenzy to find her. But she may not be the hapless victim everyone thinks she is. The last film she made showed her breaking into an abandoned French chateau and stumbling across a priceless Roman silver casket. The day after Lisa vanishes the casket is listed for auction in Paris, reserve price fifty million euros, with a catalogue entry that challenges the beliefs of a major world religion. On a thrilling chase across Europe to discover what happened to Lisa, Anna and Fin are caught up in a world of international art smuggling, billionaire con artists and religious zealotry. But someone doesn't want them to find the missing girl... and will do anything to stop them. PRAISE FOR CONVICTION- 'If you loved Killing Eve, you'll devour Conviction' Erin Kelly 'You won't be able to put Conviction down' Reese Witherspoon 'Denise Mina gets to the heart of what crime really is. You feel like you are right there, in all the dark nooks and crannies that her characters inhabit' Karin Slaughter
