Strange things begin to happen as Petra Andalee and Calder Pillay are brought together by a book of inexplicable happenings: apparently unconnected incidents link, an eccentric elderly lady seeks them out, and an important Vermeer artwork vanishes. Before they realize it, the two are at the heart of a global art scandal in which not a single person is exempt from scrutiny, including parents, professors, and neighbors. Petra and Calder must rely on their intuition, problem-solving abilities, and Vermeer knowledge as they follow clues leading them into an enigmatic maze. Can they figure out a crime that even the FBI can't seem to figure out?
