Portrait of Victorine

Who stole the Picasso from the Paris art school? Who's so anxious to get ahold of great artworks that they're willing to commit murder and kidnapping? Art teacher Lindsay Parker must find out - and must also learn the truth about her new love, Alain Bordeaux. Lindsay Parker expected an exciting life when she moved to teach art in Paris. The excitement, however, proved to be more than she had bargained for. A Picasso is stolen from the art school. Two previously unknown Cezannes turn up in a junk shop. One of her new friends is kidnapped and another is murdered. Is Lindsay next? Does she, like the others, know too much? And all the while, at her side, is the handsome, brilliant and mysterious Alain Bordeaux. Who is he? How is he connected to the art thefts? And what role is he destined to play in Lindsay's life? To learn the answers, Lindsay must investigate - in the underworld of Paris.
