Facing her ex-boyfriend Ian and the allure of the Uffizi Gallery, Friday must decide if she can protect priceless art and navigate old feelings. Will her deductive skills save the day, or will her past catch up with her? As tensions rise, Friday's resolve is tested in a city of beauty and betrayal.

From the publisher

It’s two years later . . . Friday steps out of prison, a shell of her former self. She’s still wearing the same brown cardigan, but she swears she’s never solving mysteries again! Who is Friday kidding? She can’t suppress her brilliant deductive mind and is soon drawn back into the intrigues of Highcrest Academy. Then Uncle Bernie rings, pleading with Friday to fly to Italy and help him protect the Uffizi Gallery from a team of art thieves - and she can’t say “no” to family. Even if it means traveling to the city where Ian, her nemesis/ex-boyfriend is living. Will Friday be able to protect Italy’s finest artworks? Will Melanie stay awake long enough to help her? And will Ian still be as gorgeous as a Greek god and twice as annoying?
