'My father died eleven years ago. I was only four then. I never thought I'd hear from him again, but now we're writing a book together' To Georg Røed, his father is no more than a shadow, a distant memory. But then one day his grandmother discovers some pages stuffed into the lining of an old red pushchair. The pages are a letter to Georg, written just before his father died, and a story, 'The Orange Girl'. But 'The Orange Girl' is no ordinary story - it is a riddle from the past and centres around an incident in his father's youth. One day he boarded a tram and was captivated by a beautiful girl standing in the aisle, clutching a huge paper bag of luscious-looking oranges. Suddenly the tram gave a jolt and he stumbled forward, sending the oranges flying in all directions. The girl simply hopped off the tram leaving Georg's father with arms full of oranges. Now, from beyond the grave, he is asking his son to help him finally solve the puzzle of her identity.

Cuando en el selecto y erudito mundo de los entendidos y los coleccionistas de arte, tan poco dado a las sopresas, acontecen varios sucesos inexplicables a la vez, se hace difícil pensar en la casualidad. Y menos aún cuando, en cuestión de unos pocos días, un Caravaggio es robado de una antigua iglesia del Trastevere romano; la casa de subastas londinense Christie’s presenta un catálogo con la inesperada salida al mercado de uno de los cuadros más célebres de Kasimir Malevich, y en la fundación que gestiona el legado del pintor ruso en París descubren que de sus bóvedas ha desaparecido el mismo lienzo que Christie’s asegura poseer. Una extraña cadena de acontecimientos a la que sigue la coacción a que un siniestro individuo somete a uno de los mayores expertos de historia del arte de Inglaterra, y la liberación de una hábil ladrona de arte italiana, merced a los acuerdos conseguidos por un prestigioso investigador de seguros y delitos de arta tras la pista del Caravaggio robado. Desde París, el inspector Jean-Jacques Bizot comenzará a elaborar sus primeras teorías para resolver aquel embrollo, siempre al amparo de un buen vino y una buena mesa. Poco más tarde, su contrapunto ingles, el frío y soso inspector Harry Wickenden, se unirá a las pesquisas cuando un ladrón consiga llegar a las entrañas de la National Gallery.. para llevarse, en otro robo sorprendente, su nueva y más preciada joya.
