      En su taller, donde está dando los últimos toques a una pintura, el artista Paul McHenry es asesinado por dos ladrones. La obra en la que McHenry estaba trabajando es destruida. Era uno de los motivos de nenúfares de Claude Monet. Con la muerte del genial falsificador, su socio, el comerciante de arte Adrian Sellars, se encuentra en graves problemas. Su cliente, un "empresario" japonés, exige una compensación: esta vez, un Monet auténtico. Para subrayar la seriedad de su demanda, amenaza con consecuencias, y lo hace con una determinación mortal.

      The Gravity of Shadows . . . To save his business, art dealer Wil Sumner returns to Palm Beach--the monied world in whose shadow he'd enviously spent his childhood. Now, though, he would be inside its gilded gates, appraising the private collection of a mysterious, ailing recluse. Yet beneath the fabulous wealth lies a darkness Wil never suspects, until he witnesses the murder of his client's wife--and is dragged into a vendetta that began a century ago. That Pull at a Man's Soul Caught in a vortex of evil beyond his understanding, Wil becomes entangled in the fears of a dying man and in the awesome power of a politician who will do anything to keep secrets buried. Desperate to find answers, Wil plunges into an underworld of greed, murder, and seduction that can destroy these two warring enemies--and finish Wil, too.
