and loss set in 1980s Chicago and contemporary Paris  In 1985  Yale Tishman  the development
director for an art gallery in Chicago  is about to pull off an amazing coup  bringing in an
extraordinary collection of 1920s paintings as a gift to the gallery. Yet as his career begins

dying and after his friend Nico's funeral  the virus circles closer and closer to Yale himself.
Soon the only person he has left is Fiona  Nico's little sister.  Thirty years later  Fiona is
