son complice, elle se consacre au vol d'oeuvres d'art inestimables, de préférence chez des particuliers très bien gardés. Ses nouvelles ambitions se portent sur Sir Julian Corbeau, criminel international (et probable chef de l'ordre des Templiers moderne) terré en Suisse pour échapper à une demande d'extradition. Or ce qu'elle est venue chercher au péril de sa vie dépasse l'entendement : un portrait de Jésus de Nazareth dans ses derniers instants. Commandé par Pilate, il serait l'unique représentation du Christ et posséderait de mystérieux pouvoirs. Mais au lieu d'y gagner la vie éternelle, ce vol pourrait bien signifier son arrêt de mort. Car alors que d'autres réseaux se lancent à la poursuite du précieux tableau, les cadavres s'accumulent dans le sillage de Kate, jusqu'à ce que la vengeance de Sir Julian Corbeau et le mystère des Templiers la rattrapent. Après deux mille ans de secrets et de convoitises, l'icône miraculeuse sera-t-elle enfin révélée au monde ? " -- 4e de couvRising water
