Sacrifice by Lynda La Plante follows Detective Jack as he leads Scotland Yard's fledgling art fraud unit. The unit's survival hinges on exposing a suspected forgery — a multimillion-dollar Basquiat.

When his informant, gallerist Ester Langton, is brutally murdered, Jack's hunt spirals into obsession. Clues point to Adam Border, a reclusive genius hiding in a decayed Sicilian villa haunted by Mafia ties and violent secrets.

As Jack abandons family and duty to pursue him, he's drawn into a world where brilliance and madness collide, masterpieces mask psychosis, and death stalks every shadow. In chasing the truth, Detective Jack Warr must decide which side of the law he's on... once and for all.
