- Synopsis
- DEADLY HERITAGEWhen Matthew Spear, a young curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, meets Ana Kessler, an art dealer who has inherited an impressive group of pieces, he finds a prize: the Holy Mother of Katarini—a sacred icon long thought destroyed. But while Matthew recognizes the icon’s value as a work of art, it carries a far greater significance to numerous people.A representative of the Greek Orthodox Church, a Russian “entrepreneur” and a Nazi who escaped the wartime tribunals all pursue the icon, each believing it to be a source of fantastic and inexplicable power. And Matthew himself has a strange personal connection to the icon—one that thrusts him into a Byzantine web of death and deception. Before he walks into the final harrowing situation that will decide who lives and who dies, Matthew will be forced to re-examine virtually every aspect of his life—the loyalties within his family, his feelings for Ana and even the question of his own faith.
