Sidney Sterling

Sidney Sterling writes the Elena Torretti thrillers — art crime, sacred conspiracies, and Prague gothic. Torretti, a conservator who authenticates paintings and exposes lies, moves through a Europe where every altarpiece hides a ledger and every restoration uncovers a crime. Four titles so far, each built around a real art-historical mystery. Sterling's Prague is a character in itself: beautiful, haunted, and for sale to the highest bidder.
