The Crown Conspiracy

Written by Connie Mann

Narrated by Morgan Hallett

SHE'S A MASTER AT SPOTTING A FORGERY … AND KNOWING HOW TO CREATE ONE. BUT CAN SHE SOLVE A DECADES-OLD MYSTERY?

The media spotlight is the last thing art thief and forger Sophie Williams needs.

But when one of three long-missing royal portraits turns up in Germany at her best friend’s art gallery, the spotlight is exactly what she gets. Since the tragic deaths of Princess Johanna of Neuhansberg and her two children forty years ago, the whereabouts of these portraits have been unknown … and the timing of their reappearance—just days before a new prince’s coronation—reignites questions surrounding the infamous accident.

Then Sophie’s best friend vanishes, and a rumor about hidden treasure connected to the paintings surfaces, seemingly confirmed by a cryptic message on the back of the first canvas. Convinced that finding the other two portraits will lead to her friend, Sophie begins a twisty investigation that pits her against other ruthless treasure hunters, a handsome investigator who seems to dog her trail at every turn, and a mysterious group that offers help, wearing an emblem identical to one in the painting.

From Germany’s grand castles and soaring cathedrals through the Alps to the canals of Venice, Sophie must choose her allies carefully if she hopes to find the portraits, rescue her best friend, and perhaps save a throne—before time runs out.

“The Crown Conspiracy took me on a breath-stealing, heart-stopping adventure. … Highly recommended!”—Colleen Coble, USA Today bestselling author
