Its unnoticed presence means that when it vanishes amidst a suspicious blackout, no alarm is raised. Only the cunning criminals behind the heist and the mysterious woman found in Venice—an unknown face—know of its whereabouts. Gabriel must navigate through this intricate web of criminal intrigue to resolve the case.
