What if uncovering the truth meant going up against a man who controls the art world’s darkest secrets?
When her friend Eleanor Ashford is found dead under suspicious circumstances, retired lawyer Saoirse St. James steps in as executor of her estate—and quickly discovers that Eleanor was guarding a stolen Gustav Klimt painting with ties to a brutal inheritance dispute.
As Saoirse investigates, she collides with Maximilian Devereaux—the enigmatic head of a global crime network specializing in forged art, money laundering, and cultural manipulation. Charming in public, ruthless in private, Devereaux will stop at nothing to erase evidence of his operations and silence anyone who gets too close.
But the painting may be more than stolen—it may be encoded with truths that implicate powerful institutions, and Eleanor’s death may have been the first in a long line of silenced witnesses.
The Silent Witness blends elegant suspense, high-stakes deception, and psychological intrigue in a world where beauty hides brutality—and justice has a price.
