Gilt Frame (2024-)

The cobblestone streets of Paris are disrupted by a crime scene of bizarre, theatrical violence. For the globetrotting Sam and his wealthy guardian Aunt Merry, this is an interruption to their vacation, but not an unfamiliar one. Their shared history of solving high-profile murders propels them into a pursuit that will stretch from the French capital to Hawaii and the coast of Montenegro. Their path is obstructed by a network of international criminals—art forgers, jewel thieves, and gun-runners—and complicated by the official investigation of a meticulous French detective. The only clear lead might be a stray dog found at the scene.
