Description

Artemis Bookbinder, a quirky academic with an NYPD background, has an obsession for an unsolved case: the robbery of the Gardner Museum in Boston. A painting is found - alongside a very dead body. Artemis, a lifelong germophobe, must navigate the outbreak of the pandemic as he and his young son, Silas, investigate a dark world of cults, drugs, and an all too powerful TV news outlet. What they discover will shatter the foundation of everything they believe.
