The Vanishing Point. The Vanishing Point A Novel - I. Roz Roz

Two cups of coffee. One with oat milk. The morning Julian Cross was found dead in his SoHo loft, he'd been expecting her.

Maya Sinclair is an art appraiser with a gift for seeing what others miss - the hairline crack in a forgery, the tremor in a brushstroke that betrays a lie. When her lover, the charismatic art dealer Julian Cross, is found dead in an apparent suicide, Maya refuses to accept the ruling. Julian made her coffee that morning. He'd texted her the night before: I have something to tell you. Something important. Tomorrow.

People who are planning to die don't promise tomorrow.

Driven by grief and armed with the only skills she has - a trained eye and a stubborn refusal to accept surfaces at face value - Maya plunges into Julian's hidden world. What she finds is a web of high-end art forgeries, laundered millions, and dangerous men who will do anything to keep their secrets buried.

Then she meets Luca Marin, a brooding investigative journalist who has been tracking Julian for over a year. Their alliance is volatile - charged with suspicion, attraction, and the shared understanding of what it means to lose someone and refuse to let the world call it something it wasn't. As Maya and Luca dig deeper, the line between investigation and desire blurs, and Maya must confront the hardest truth of all: that the man she loved was not who she thought he was - and that his killer may be closer than she imagined.

Set against the glittering, treacherous art world of Manhattan, The Vanishing Point is a dark romantic mystery about love, deception, and the courage it takes to look beneath the surface. For readers who loved The Silent Patient, The Woman in the Window, and The Goldfinch.
