Vicky Bliss opens a mysterious package that changes everything. Inside she finds a black and white photograph showing a woman draped in golden jewelry from head to toe. The treasure depicted is the legendary Trojan Gold, with a history as captivating as its glittering surface. But the envelope itself tells a darker story. Brown and grimy, it bears no return address and appears to have been soaked in blood. Someone went to great lengths to get this photograph to Vicky, and the bloodstains suggest they paid a terrible price. As Vicky studies the image, questions multiply. Who sent this to her and why? What happened to the messenger? And where is this golden treasure now? The photograph pulls Vicky into a web of adventure and romance, but the bloodstained envelope warns her that danger lurks behind every glittering promise.
