The Restorer’s Redemption
A Mick & Mack Mystery“A forged past. A burning truth. And a ghost who never died…”When a priceless medieval manuscript is revealed to be a forgery during a glittering Toronto gallery gala, famed art restorer Nicholas Hawthorne becomes the prime suspect in a scandal that could destroy his career—and his freedom. But Nick insists the manuscript was real when it left his hands. Someone switched it. Someone who knows his secrets.Enter Detectives Mick McCathie and Mack MacNeely, two sharp-witted investigators with a knack for uncovering the rot beneath the varnish. As they dig into the origins of the piece, a sinister signature reemerges: a symbol used during World War II by a master forger known only as Ordo—a ghost from Nick’s past, presumed dead in Prague.Teaming up with the brilliant and enigmatic Eve Whitmore, and rare book dealer Edward Thornton, Mick and Mack follow a trail of elegant forgeries, coded war-time documents, and twisted vendettas through Toronto’s elite art world. But when the forgeries begin appearing at high-profile auctions—and a deadly fire is set to erase the evidence—the case becomes a race against time.Now Nick must confront the one man who matches his skill... and his sins.Because some forgeries are more than fakes.
Some are messages.
And some are traps.Praise for Mick & Mack Mysteries:
“Smart, stylish, and packed with wit—Toronto’s answer to Holmes and Watson, with a splash of noir and a twist of Cold War espionage.”Perfect for fans of historical mysteries, wartime intrigue, and art-world deception.
