Summary
A thriller that spans centuries and continents The chrysalis tracks an artistic masterpiece that falls prey to the worst of human desires--and a heroic attorney's struggle to right the wrongs of its history. Mara Coyne has sweat blood and tears to reach the pinnacle at her prominent New York law firm, and now the client that will guarantee her partnership has fallen into her lap. The prestigious Beazley's auction house is about to auction a lost master work of Dutch painting, The chrysalis, in a sale destined for fame and fortune. Standing in the way, however, is the shocking claim that the painting belongs not to Beazley's, but to Hilda Baum, the daughter of a Dutch collector whose collection--and life--was pillaged by the Nazis. It is Mara's job to prove that the painting is Beazley's, no matter how terrifying and heartbreaking Baum's story is. And she does, using the ruthless calculation that earned her the job. Her firm couldn't be happier, nor could Michael Roarke, the client with whom she's begun an ill-advised affair
