Paris, 1874: an artist's model is murdered and a wealthy socialite posing for her portrait is stalked by an unknown assailant. Normandy, 1956: a young widow inherits a house and finds eight old paintings with a mysterious note that claims they're clues to a crime. But how did they get there? Two mysteries from different ages, the clues connected yet riddles remain. The cast of characters span a century-from a pompous detective, romantic artist, wealthy socialite, and famous racehorse, to a Nazi colonel, young widow, ambitious jockey, and retired policeman. A Crime Through Time is a puzzle with pieces that don't quite fit, a tale of intrigue, honor, and deceit, where lies are truths, fact is fiction, and nothing is ever quite as it seems.
