She needed to find him…ĭaniel Horrowitz had been an agent for Mossad now retired, he was soon back in the fold when he discovered Severine. But he was there – Nazi Ruda Mayek was in every corner every thought.


The horrors Severine had buried for twenty years clawed at her she needed to keep it together. But Severine’s normally controlled demeanor cracked when she saw what was in front of her and her horrific past came rushing back. As Severine follows Mayek’s trail, there is still one lifelong secret for her to reveal – and one for her to discover.įrom the snowy woodlands outside Prague to the Tuilieries of Paris and the heather-covered moors of Yorkshire comes a confronting and heart-stopping novel that explores whether love and hope can ever overpower atrocity in a time of war and hate.Īntique jewellery was Severine Kassel’s forte so when her colleagues showed her some jewellery which had been loaned to the Museum, they requested her expertise on the pearls. Mossad’s interest is triggered and one of its most skilled agents comes out of retirement to join the hunt, while the one person who can help her – the solicitor handling the Pearls – is bound by client confidentiality. Her shocking revelation of their provenance sets off a frenzied hunt for Nazi Ruda Mayek. It is only when some dramatic Byzantine pearls are loaned to the Museum that Severine’s poise is dashed and the tightly controlled life she’s built around herself is shattered. No one could imagine that she is a desperately damaged woman, hiding her trauma behind her chic, French image.

Her London colleagues find her distant and mysterious her cool beauty the topic of conversations around its quiet halls. Severine Kassel is asked by the Louvre in 1963 to aid the British Museum with curating its antique jewellery, her specialty.
