Janika and Toby are on honeymoon in Cornwall, staying in an isolated cottage on the coast. They arrived on Sunday, and a massive storm, combined with a full moon on Monday night, brings Janika face-to-face with a tragedy when she ventures down the cliff path onto the beach early on Tuesday morning. If someone had pushed Tom Jago over the cliff, why didn't he tell her before she went to get help? Janika can't stop wondering if someone else was involved in his death.
Before long Janika hears the sad story of two brothers who fell out over a large lottery jackpot win. One brother lives in the white Art Deco house higher up the hill, but it seems he is far from happy. When Janika and Toby are invited to the house, Janika is amazed to see a large number of fine art pictures from various periods on the walls. She is fascinated by what seems to be a genuine Impressionist painting.
With more than a hint of murder in the air, and Janika's determination to discover if the pictures are genuine, fakes, or stolen, this is far from the peaceful getaway that she and Toby planned. But Janika admits she never can resist investigating a mystery ‒ even on honeymoon. She just doesn't want to end up dead!
