- Title: Zoia's Gold
- Description:
Stockholm 1999. Madam Zoia, the enigmatic painter on gold, is dead. The best known survivor of the Romanov court, she leaves behind a houseful of paintings, a collection of private papers, and a mystery.
Marcus Elliot travels to Sweden to write the catalogue that will accompany the sale of her work. But something feels wrong. Behind the gilded serenity of Zoia's work lie the shadows of a secret life: a miraculous escape from the Revolutionary torturers of the Lubyanka, an artistic journey that embraced the excesses of Bohemian Paris, and an unearthly ability to command the devotion of beautiful men.
Marcus is to be Zoia's last triumphant seduction but with time against him, he must lay his own ghosts to rest- the scandal that ruined him, the tragedy that shattered his childhood- before the priceless truth can come within his grasp.
