Later that same day, Middleburg Books will host an intimate dinner with Piazza at Tremolo Bar, Middleburg’s highly rated modern wine bar (19 E. Washington St.), from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

“The Parisian Heist” is a gripping dual-timeline novel of art, power, and deception. In present-day Paris, a struggling artist becomes entangled with a powerful art-dealing family, drawn into a world of wealth, secrets, and danger. In the late 1800s, Jo van Gogh fights to prove the genius of Vincent’s work while navigating betrayal and loss. Their stories collide in a daring museum heist where the price of rewriting history may be everything.
