“IT ALL BEGINS WITH Taylor Spielberg, a 28-year-old crypto prodigy who rides the post-Trump market surge to billionaire status — thanks to bold bets on Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Tesla (thank you, Elon Musk). But Taylor doesn’t just want wealth — he wants cultural immortality. He wants Modigliani’s Nu Couché.
At the center: Evan Peterson, a seemingly flawless American investor and art broker, corrupted by ambition.”

“Beside him: Rebecca Langley Peterson, a brilliant federal prosecutor torn between justice and loyalty.In the shadows: a master forger, a soldier-turned-ghost-thief, and a young tech mogul willing to rewrite history.When Nu Couché vanishes from Guo Lian Huang’s ultra-secure Shanghai villa, the countdown begins.But this isn’t just a theft — it’s a declaration. A humiliation. A fracture.Guo Lian Huang, a powerful Chinese billionaire and art collector, launches a quiet but relentless manhunt — from opulent Singapore lounges to Eswatini palaces, London hideouts to secretive Scottish estates, New York’s shadowy freeports to seaside Hamptons retreats.
What unfolds is a shocking revelation:
Behind every masterpiece lies a war for power.”
