In 1911, a man named
Vincenzo Peruggia
stole a little-known
masterpiece from the
Louvre in Paris.
That painting became
famous overnight.
It's 1925...
Scarlet Haslewood is a con artist.
Besides perfectly baked pastries and strong coffee, she has a fondness for stealing things. But she knows that stealing the most famous painting in the world would be pointless. After all, what can you do with it once the world finds out it's missing? Hide it in your closet? She'd rather use that space for her hat collection.
So instead of stealing the Mona Lisa, Scarlet's going to sell it.
But who is Scarlet Haslewood, really... and how did she become a lying thief in the first place?
And can a simple twist of fate change the life of a woman who twists the truth for a living?
More than just a good caper, Scarlet is the origin story that kicks off a new series:
The Haslewood Mysteries.
