Painter of the Dead​

​When museum painter Theodora Speer reluctantly attends a fundraiser gala, she hardly expects to meet a famous and dashing patron—let alone be kidnapped by him and forced to help steal Egyptian artifacts. Then the police arrive, and the patron kills himself to avoid capture...leaving nothing but dust behind.

Naturally, the police don’t believe Theo’s story, and Theo herself isn’t sure what really happened—especially when the patron shows up again, looking younger and healthier than ever. Determined to solve this mystery, Theo dives headfirst into a world of ancient Egyptian magic, desperate heists, and, just possibly, true love.
​
Exciting and romantic, exotic and clever, Catherine Butzen’s exhilarating fantasy will take readers on an adventure 4000 years in the making.
