About the book

A stolen painting

A series of unexpected events

Two smart children Petra and Calder live in a neighbourhood where strange things have started to happen.

Seemingly unrelated events connect, a sharp old woman seeks their company - and a priceless Vermeer painting disappears.

Before they know it, the two children are caught up in an international art sensation where no one is above suspicion.

As puzzling clues draw Petra and Calder deeper into the mystery, they mustely on their intelligence, their powers of deduction, and a newly acquired knowledge of the artist Vermeer, to crack an art crime that has left everyone baffled.
