Description: Under a searing Calabrian sky, detective Daniel Wright is shown the world's most famous stolen painting - "Caravaggio's Nativity". As a Caravaggio lover and expert in art recovery, he is determined to rescue it from the mafia bosses who use it as payment for drug deals and assassinations. Risking his marriage, his career and his life, Daniel defies his superiors and goes beyond the law in a desperate bid to save the painting before it is lost forever. But will he become the hero of the art establishment, or has he dangerously underestimated its mafia underworld?
