Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy crime thrillers with ordinary people caught in extraordinary danger, like Michael Mann's Heat or the Bourne films.
  • You like dual protagonists with chemistry and banter who have to rely on each other when everything falls apart.
  • You appreciate heist elements mixed with genuine stakes where the characters have real families and businesses to protect.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer literary crime fiction that prioritises psychological depth over plot momentum.
  • You want a standalone novel with full closure, not a series opener that sets up future conflicts.
  • You're looking for a cosy mystery or a puzzle-box thriller where the reader can solve it before the characters do.

About this book

A missing masterpiece, a deadly threat, and a desperate search put Marty and Bo's struggling startup in mortal danger. What began as a struggle to keep their business alive becomes a fight for survival itself. When investor Nico Scava offers to fund their company, Marty and Bo accept without asking enough questions. Scava has money, art world connections, and a creative idea. But when he turns up dead, they discover they're entangled in his criminal scheme. The Russian mob is now after them, demanding $10 million and a mysterious missing painting within days—or they'll be killed. Their search takes them from an Oregon cabin to a Portland strip club, from an aging artist to a bogus baron, and into the history of a valuable missing masterpiece. As bodies accumulate, Marty and Bo face difficult choices about how far they'll go to protect their families, their company, and their lives. Winner of Crime Thriller of the Year (Best Thrillers Book Awards), the Feathered Quill Award for Mystery, Thriller, Suspense, the Best Indie Book Award for Crime Thriller, and Gold Medals from both the Military Writers Society of America and Reader's Favorite.
