Charleston, SC, March 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Liliane Ashe is an accomplished art sleuth with dual quests: tracking stolen art and solving the mystery of her missing mother.

When her past comes calling, in the form of Interpol Agent Victor Aldwyn, Liliane is lured into an explosive case that catapults her from the tranquil mountains of New Mexico into London’s criminal underbelly. As Liliane and Victor probe beneath the surface of a prestigious art gallery suspected of shady dealings, they unearth a clandestine and ruthless empire stretching from the cobbled streets of Europe to the jungles of Southeast Asia and beyond.

A string of murders linked to yet more art heists makes one thing clear: these players will stop at nothing to protect their empire and their secrets. And when Liliane crosses paths with the maniacal ringleader, she discovers two more things: his past is disturbingly entwined with her own, and she has become his latest obsession.

Relics Torn is an international thriller that delivers spine-tingling suspense and heart-pounding action, while also painting a complex portrait of moral ambiguity within the underground antiquities trade. It’s a great choice for art enthusiasts, mystery lovers, and fans of books like The DaVinci Code, The Rembrandt Affair, and The Eight.
