It's Paris in the Spring of 1881—John Singer Sargent's portraits are garnering praise and attention at the Salon, and Violet Paget (aka writer Vernon Lee) is on her way to a literary rendezvous in London. But their lives are interrupted by a dramatic murder at the Musée de Cluny, where a medieval tapestry is being restored—it may hold the clue to murder! Time-travel through the centuries in France as the two intrepid sleuths unravel a mystery that began in 1480. This is the third book in the John Singer Sargent/Violet Paget mystery series.
