From the Amazon #1 bestselling author of The Girl Who Knew da Vinci comes the second book in the breathtaking Out of Time Thriller Series.

Art historian Angela Renatus knows she’s different. She can see into the past—into the lives of the greatest artists of all time—but are her visions a gift or a curse?

Angela and her fiancé, Alex Caine—a former Navy Seal turned private detective—recover precious works of art for private collectors, museums, and galleries. Enlisted by the Uffizi Gallery in Florence Angela and Alex investigate what is considered one of the greatest art heists in history—the theft of Caravaggio’s "Nativity". But the deeper they delve into Caravaggio’s life, the more Angela realizes that her visions about the tortured artist go far beyond the missing masterpiece.

A web of secrets and lies entangles Angela and Alex on a twisted and treacherous journey into Caravaggio’s very own heart of darkness…and the truth could propel the couple to a point of no return.

This is the second book in the Out of Time Thriller Series, and we see our intrepid heroine Angela Renatus continue her adventures in art and time travel. This time the art of Caravaggio is the central theme. But don’t think that means the story is limited in its scope.

The story takes the reader from Italy to Afghanistan to California. It sounds insane but, somehow, Belle Ami takes the reader back and forth through time and place with such skill, incorporating art, history, and mystery into the story. The narrative has depth and keeps the reader invested and interested to the end.

Woven into this already amazing tapestry is the romance between Angela and Alex Caine. The two come from two vastly different perspectives but when they work together their chemistry is so pure. There is no actual on page sex in this book but that does not take away from the romance aspect at all.

Belle Ami has given us all another gift in the form of a great book. I didn’t think she could top the first book but she has proven me wrong. I can’t wait to see what she does in the next!!
