"Thriller enthusiasts will want to add this well-sculpted heist drama
to their collections." --Kirkus Reviews
It was supposed to be a simple heist. But running with art thieves could
get them killed.
San Francisco. Disgraced investigative journalist Camden Swanson spends
his nights guzzling beer and penning nonsensical poetry. Forced into
working as a museum guard after writing a drug-addled story that lost
him his job, his life takes a wild twist when he's offered a huge sum to
help steal his employer's prized Matisse statues. But when someone else
mysteriously snatches the sculptures first, Camden's beautiful
benefactor accuses him of the crime and demands he return them ... or
die.
Unable to persuade the vengeful femme fatale that he didn't double-cross
her, Camden engages the help of Veronica Zarcarsky, a recent journalism
school grad. When they discover a shocking secret and everything they've
learned turns out to be a lie, Swanson suffers a brutal attack and his
partner is nearly murdered. Can the ragtag duo crack the case before
they end up in the obituaries?
