Book Description:

A missing masterwork in wood, the last creation of a master carver who died in the violent tumult of the sixteenth century, may be hidden in a medieval German castle in the town of Rothenburg. The prize has called to art historian Vicky Bliss, drawing her and an arrogant male colleague into the forbidding citadel and its dark secrets. But the treasure hunt soon turns deadly. Here, where the blood of the long-forgotten damned stains ancient stones, Vicky must face two equally perilous possibilities. Either a powerful supernatural evil inhabits this place . . . or someone frighteningly real is willing to kill for what Vicky is determined to find.

The first in the Vicky Bliss series. Our heroine is an art historian. She discovers information about a missing masterwork in wood created by an artist who died in the sixteenth century. Soon she and an arrogant male colleague are off to Germany on a quest to find it. Along the way they meet several other people on the same quest. While staying in an old schloss she experiences what seems to be an evil spiritual presence. Is it real or just someone's dirty tricks to steal the masterpiece. The story is interesting, written in the first person with a somewhat dated feel which doesn't distract from a good story.
