A package of old letters filled with regrets, some faded photos of an elegant couple, and, above all, a magnificent collection of jewelry: spectacular stones set in exquisitely crafted settings. This is the content of a safe deposit box that no one has claimed at the Metropolitan Bank in New York. If the heirs cannot be traced, the jewelry will be auctioned off. But who was Marguerite Pearson, the mysterious woman who died in solitude, leaving such a fortune without a will? Two people are called to solve the mystery: Jane Willoughby, who works at the court that must assign the inheritance, and Phillip Lawton, an art and jewelry expert from Christie's auction house. For both, the investigation begins as a simple assignment, but becomes increasingly intense and personally engaging with every new, surprising turn. As they reconstruct Marguerite's extraordinary story, Jane and Phillip also discover the truth about themselves and the deeper nature of love.
