Louvre cryptographer Solène Mercier is framed when her signature surfaces at three Paris crimes: a forged masterpiece, a murdered tech CEO, and stolen quantum encryption codes. With DEI agent Marcus Winters, she follows clues from elite salons to the catacombs, and to a father she thought dead. Forged in Betrayal is a razor-sharp Shadow Files thriller of art crime, markets, and lies.

ABOUT THE BOOK

In the city of art and deception, the most dangerous forgery is trust

In the city of art and deception, the most dangerous forgery is trust.
Solène Mercier sees what others miss. The Louvre’s sharpest cryptographic expert and art authenticator, she can separate a masterpiece from a near-perfect fake, and follow hidden signatures that criminals don’t know they left. But when her cryptographic mark surfaces at three Paris crime scenes—a forged painting, a murdered tech CEO, and stolen quantum encryption codes, Solène becomes the prime suspect in a plot to crash global markets.

Branded a forger in her own city, Solène uncovers a truth she never expected: her presumed-dead father, a legendary master forger, is alive…and appears to be orchestrating the scheme. Forced into an uneasy alliance with enigmatic DEI agent Marcus Winters, she follows a trail from secret salons of the financial elite to catacombs beneath Paris, decoding a decades-long conspiracy that could rewrite the world’s balance of power.

To stop an economic endgame, and reclaim her name, Solène must decide whether to protect the father who betrayed her or expose the man who may have forged her entire life.

Forged in Betrayal is a sleek, high-stakes Shadow Files thriller where art crime, quantum cryptography, and espionage collide.

For fans of: Daniel Silva, Chris Pavone, Dan Brown, JP Delaney.
