When art hides the truth, only Sofia Bianchi can bring it to light. An expert art restorer with a talent for uncovering secrets no one wants found, Sofia arrives at a secluded villa on Lake Como to save a crumbling Madonna fresco. But her work reveals more than faded pigment—beneath the saint’s robes lies a hidden figure, a mysterious symbol, and the echo of a centuries-old cover-up. Before she can peel back the final layer, a member of the household is found dead—poisoned with the very pigments she works with. Trapped among a family whose wealth is matched only by their secrets, Sofia must navigate lies, betrayal, and the weight of her own family’s past to uncover a truth someone has already killed to keep buried. Murder Beneath the Madonna launches the Sofia Bianchi Mysteries—where every restoration risks revealing more than art, and every wall might be watching.
