Art, espionage, and dangerous secrets collide in a race against time, as Alex's mission becomes more than just a search for stolen masterpieces-it's a journey into the depths of her own heart.
Alexandra Stewart's eidetic memory won't let her forget anything. Ever. And she finally has a life worth remembering-a handsome Spanish tutor who gives perfecto a new name, a roommate who could double as her sister, and a special role in a secret spy organization headquartered in the basement of Brown University.
But when Alex's colleague Daly returns from a covert mission to Moscow with an enemy from her past, Alex's carefully constructed world begins to unravel. He dangles the promise of reuniting her with a lost loved one, demanding a steep price: the recovery of a stolen Van Gogh painting.
From the sun-drenched galleries of Barcelona to the shadowy streets of Paris, Alex and Daly's friendship is stretched as they uncover a startling truth that challenges everything they thought they knew. Alex must now navigate a maze of deception and betrayal in a high-stakes art heist where failure means losing the people closest to her.

Let's be honest, we've all dreamed of being one of those suave, oh-so-cool spies or secret agents, right? Well, with Remembrandt, you get to be! Or at least, Alexandra gets to be, and the writing is so effortless you feel like you're right there along with her. And I'll just come right out and admit it: William is my new fictional crush. Oh, William! Where have you been all my life?! And can Casey and I be real-life roommates? . . . Everything about this book rocks, and I already can't wait for book two.
