About this ebook
When hurricane damage warps a watercolor in a New Orleans museum lab, paper conservator Simone Baptiste finds blue fibers and a boat-registration number hidden beneath its frame. The clues point south to Bayou Terrebonne, where a celebrated coastal painting may carry the erased work of a Black fishing-family workshop.
Simone has twenty days before a climate exhibition and a reproduction-rights sale turn an incomplete attribution into profitable fact. Boatbuilder André Landry will help her follow the material trail, but he will not let another museum extract family memory and call it preservation. Together they must join pigment, paper, parish records, and lived practice before treatment removes what remains.
As storm tide closes roads and museum trustees tighten control, Simone must decide whether careful proof is enough when silence has its own chain of custody. Counterfeit Spring is a tense, intimate art mystery about evidence, inheritance, and the cost of making truth visible.
