Not every door should be opened . . .

With stunning locations and page-turning tension, The Paris Secret is an intense and gripping tale from bestselling author Karen Swan.

Somewhere along  the cobbled streets of Paris, an apartment lies thick with dust and secrets: full of priceless artworks hidden away  for decades.

High-flying fine art agent Flora from London, more comfortable with the tension of a million-pound auction than a cosy candlelit dinner for two, is called  in to assess these suddenly discovered treasures. As an expert in her field, she must trace the history of each painting and discover who  has concealed them for so long.

Thrown in amongst the glamorous Vermeil family as they move  between Paris and Antibes, Flora begins  to discover that things aren't all that they seem, while back  at home  her own  family is recoiling from a seismic shock. The terse and brooding Xavier Vermeil seems  intent on forcing Flora out of his family's affairs - but just what is he hiding?
