In this vivid and suspenseful addition to her widely acclaimed Sharpe &
Donovan series, New York Times bestselling author Carla Neggers takes
listeners on a heart-stopping journey from Boston to Ireland to the
rocky coast of Maine
Emma Sharpe, granddaughter of world-renowned art detective Wendell
Sharpe, is a handpicked member of a small Boston-based FBI team. For the
past decade Emma and her grandfather have been trailing an elusive
serial art thief. The first heist was in Ireland, where an ancient
Celtic cross was stolen. Now the Sharpes receive a replica of the cross
after every new theft--reminding them of their continued failure to
capture their prey.
When Emma receives a message that leads her to the body of a woman on a
small island in Boston Harbor, she finds the victim holding a small,
cross-inscribed stone--one she recognizes all too well. Emma's fiancé,
FBI deep-cover agent Colin Donovan, is troubled that she's gone off to
the island alone, especially given the deadly turn the thief has taken.
But as they dig deeper they are certain there is more to this murder
than meets the eye.
As the danger escalates, Emma and Colin must also face do-or-die
questions about their relationship. While there's no doubt they are in
love, can they give their hearts and souls to their work and have
anything left for each other? There's one thing Emma and Colin
definitely agree on: before they can focus on their future, they must
outwit one of the smartest, most ruthless killers they've ever
encountered.
