Meiko Wright wants nothing to do with the mother who abandoned her nine years ago. Spending a year in Tokyo, where her mother lives, won’t change that fact.

When the amnesiac Meiko wakes with a strange suspicion that something isn't right, she vows to escape from a bond she doesn't truly understand.

The star of the restoration team is a handsome Italian named Anthony Bataglia, world renowned for his ability to bring pre-Renaissance treasures back to life. Despite a rocky start, the two form a close working relationship, which Mackenzie hopes will blossom into something more. But the more she works with him the more she notices peculiar patterns and unexplainable similarities in all of his restorations. Is Anthony really who he claims to be? Too many strange coincidences lead Mackenzie and her father Joe, a retired detective, to think otherwise. Something is clearly not what it seems to be with the dashing Mr. Bataglia and the resourceful Mackenzie is determined to get to the bottom of it. What she finds is more incredible than she could ever imagine. The Painter of Time explores the cost of pursuing fame and fortune at the expense of true art, while weaving its way between the dawn of the Renaissance and modern day New York.
