Danica, the charming daughter of the well-known portrait painter Littleton Hughes, had half-forgotten that she had entered the Catlin Textile Design competition, so when she returns from her training in Paris, she is surprised to find that she has won the prize. A romantic attachment has made her wish to go to Hawaii, but Blaise Catlin, presenting her with her prize, tells her he wants her to return to Paris immediately. As Dany flies to Paris, she is convinced that another man on the plane is shadowing her, and she receives confirmation of this impression when she finds that her luggage has been changed for that of a stranger. The presence in Paris of her father, whom she believed to be in Canada, increases the mystery. Matters become even more serious when Dany is persuaded to go to a mysterious castle on the Rhine, but after a terrifying adventure she finally discovers where her duty, and her heart, are leading her. - Flyleaf. Danica may look like a wide-eyed art student, but her family background in art history and her knowledge of French uncovers a cache of World War II art and an art forgery scheme. - Virginia Allain.
