Left for dead in Zurich, is this the end for Kroupa and Benoît? The horrors of the past have come back to life and at the centre of it all is the Mona Lisa. With Hendrych left in the dark, and Kroupa nowhere to be found, it looks as though evil plans laid down over a hundred years ago may finally be realised.
In 1911 the Mona Lisa disappeared. Two year’s later she was returned to the Louvre, but not before she had turned the art world on its head. Rumours of copies emerged, and other versions of the painting were revealed at museums in Spain, the United States, and in a Swiss bank vault; all claiming to be by the great master, Leonardo da Vinci. Kroupa and Hendrych uncover a conspiracy, which dates back to the original theft. As they get closer and closer to the truth, they find themselves caught up in a web of intrigue involving former dictators and regimes, all keen to get their hands on most famous painting in the world.
---
Kroupa needs a holiday, so an invitation to a premiere in Bordeaux comes at just the right time. However, 'in vino veritas' and the region's vineyards soon reveal that the sins of the past still have devastating ramifications to this day. If Kroupa was hoping to avoid a murder, he's in for a disappointment, and this time the stakes are very high!
