Synopsis

Janet Evanovich takes readers on a global hunt to track down missing masterpieces in this action-packed and steamy sequel to the instant New York Times bestseller The Recovery Agent.

Gabriela Rose, recovery agent extraordinaire, can find just about anything. Too bad she can't seem to lose her gorgeous-but-infuriating ex-husband Rafer Jones. And now he needs her help. His cousin, Harley, is in trouble . . . big trouble.

As the president of a too-big-to-fail bank, he invested an astronomical amount of money in insuring some of the world's most priceless artifacts at the urging of his board. It seemed like a low-risk, high-reward business move, so he jumped in with both feet. But recently, these insured pieces started going missing and worse, there's no paper trail of Harley being directed to make these risky investments. Unless the artwork can be recovered soon, it looks like Harley is going to be heading to jail as the fall guy for an ingenious crime.

Gabriela knows what she must do: travel around the world with Rafer to find the missing works of art, keep Harley out of jail, and save both his skin and his bank. Along the way, she'll encounter corruption, threats, murder, mysterious dark forces behind a global conspiracy to destroy the world's wealth, and a nefarious villain who will stop at nothing to bring the world to the brink of ruin.

From the Back Cover

GABRIELA ROSE, DISCOVERY AGENT EXTRAORDINAIRE, CAN FIND JUST ABOUT ANYTHING . . .

Too bad she can't lose her gorgeous-but-infuriating ex-husband Rafer Jones. And now he needs her help. His cousin, Harley, is in trouble . . . and the always resourceful, usually armed, and sometimes dangerous Gabriela is the only person who can save him.

As the president of a high-flying private bank, Harley invested an astronomical amount of money to insure some of the world's most priceless artefacts, including the Rosetta Stone and an Ancient Egyptian, solid-gold sarcophagus. But recently, these insured pieces have started disappearing. And, worse, there's no paper trail that proves Harley was being directed to make these risky investments. Unless the artwork is recovered, he's going to jail.

To solve the crime and save Harley, Gabriela must find the missing art and the people who took them. From New York to London to Cairo to Italy, she'll encounter corruption, threats, murder, and a cabal of powerful men who have no idea what Gabriela Rose will do when she's on the trail of treasure taken for ransom.
