A chief inspector under suspicion. A hidden clue. A series of art thefts...and another clue.
When Chief Inspector Dakota Ryder and the police cryptographer Esther Zhi report what theyβve found about Dakotaβs missing sister Darcey to the gendarmes, they have no choice but to finally open investigation...with Dakota as their main suspect.
Scared and annoyed by the ridiculous situation, Dakota manages to continue her search, only to come to a dead end: she learns that her sister was looking into a series of art thefts at the Paris galleries, there are plenty of people for her to question β and none of them are likely to be involved in something like an art theft.
Even if Esther has her doubts, especially now while trying to figure out that one clue sheβs certain sheβs missed.
So what happened to Darcey?
Feeling stuck and frustrated, Dakota gets a frightening confirmation that she might be onto something.
That her sister might have been closing in.
But with Darcey missing for days now, will the latest clue that Esther finds lead them to her...or to her body?
Perfect for fans of cryptography, suspense thrillers, and mystery dealing with family estrangement and loss, On the Thiefβs Path will keep you on the edge of your seat while two friends search for clues in the beautiful Paris, look for a missing young woman, and discover the true meaning of family and friendship.
