It's been a rough road to this point for Buck. After his wife and son died in childbirth and a bruising escape from the FBI, he simply wanted to restore a mountain cabin near his hometown.
But his former FBI partner persuades him to return to investigative work. Buck’s formidable instincts, wise-ass wisdom, and occasional recklessness are offset by a team that protects his six– albeit with a lot of back talk. In his new role, Buck finds himself dragged back into the glittering quagmire of the contemporary art world.
In this first novel, Buck teams up with a policewoman to investigate the murder of a US Senator's mistress and the theft of a priceless Impressionist painting from the crime scene. He must overcome his own trauma, police resistance, and the killer's attacks before more lives are destroyed, in this sexy art mystery thriller.
