Summary
Two months back in Seoul, Jaesung is pulled into his newest case: repatriating a painting that's hung in a small Paris museum for seventy years — a mountain-and-moon ink wash by a nearly forgotten Korean painter. Its ownership record is blank from 1919 to 1952.
Most cases like this go nowhere. If the museum holding it is big enough, it simply waits you out.
Yun Jaesung, 35, spent nine years in London learning to spot a pattern that doesn't sit right. Lately, he isn't always sure how far to trust that instinct.
Archive dust, an old man who won't quite talk, and names that keep turning up together more often than they should. What Jaesung has is a handful of documents. But they're pointing at a question no one has asked yet.
