Vanished

Sue Lee & Sebastian Mystery

In the heart of French Polynesia, where turquoise waters meet emerald jungles, Vanished unfolds—a thrilling tale of mystery, art, and shadowed pasts.
Sebastian, driven by a personal mission, partners with Island Art Inquiries to track down a missing relative. This enigmatic figure vanished into the idyllic yet treacherous paradise after committing a daring theft from the ruthless Russian mafia. The islands, with their breathtaking isolation and timeless beauty, offer the perfect camouflage for someone determined to erase their tracks.
But this is more than just a search for a missing person. Sue Lee and Jane, relentless art hunters, are entangled in their own pursuit—a quest for an elusive Paul Gauguin painting that holds not only immense artistic value but also dark, hidden secrets. This rare artwork is more than a relic; it’s a silent witness to decades of betrayal, stretching from the turbulent days before World War II to the shadowy intrigues of 1953. As their paths cross, the characters uncover layers of deception, theft, and tragic deaths, woven into the very fabric of paradise.
Vanished is crafted for art enthusiasts, treasure hunters, and mystery lovers alike. It challenges readers to question the reliability of appearances in Moorea—a place often seen as an island Eden, where the line between reality and illusion blurs under the tropical sun.
