The Missing Madonna

The biggest single artwork theft in British history took place in 2003. Twenty years on, Olivia begins her quest to find out what really happened to The Madonna of the Yarnwinder.

As the news breaks of the daring heist, police and press descend upon Drumlanrig Castle. Despite the attention of the media, the thieves get clean away. The painting disappears into the underworld. Will it ever be seen again?

The Madonna surfaces in Liverpool and two local PIs spot the opportunity of a lifetime. Robbie Graham and Jackie Doyle begin to bring together their team to get the painting back.

The plan to rescue The Madonna gets very real. Contact is made with the agent of Duke of Buccleuch and a crunch meeting brings Robbie and his team to the point of no return.

A warning light, a nail-biting wait and an Act of God derail the team’s plans. But is it always darkest before the dawn?

The lives of the Graham family come crashing down. And revelations from Marshall Ronald and John Craig seem to seal their fate.

Startling new evidence comes to light in the case of the missing Madonna. And while the story looks to have been all wrapped up, Olivia comes across a new lead and the possibility of something she previously missed.

A whole new story of the theft of The Madonna of the Yarnwinder emerges. And Olivia comes to terms with how the da Vinci painting has shaped her life so far.

A criminal lurks in the dark. Watching. Waiting to return a priceless van Gogh. Olivia’s in Amsterdam to find out how a late-night meeting led Arthur Brand to a missing masterpiece.
