About the book
‘Thriller master’ (Mystery and Suspense Magazine) Janet Evanovich takes you 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.
Recovery agent extraordinaire Gabriela Rose has a talent for finding anything, but she can't seem to shake off her ex-husband Rafer Jones, who is both infuriating and handsome. Now Rafer needs her help to save his cousin, Harley, who is in serious trouble.
As the president of a too-big-to-fail bank, Harley invested a huge amount of money in insuring valuable artifacts at the advice of his board. However, these insured pieces have started disappearing without a trace, putting Harley at risk of being blamed for a major crime.
Gabriela knows she has to team up with Rafer to track down the missing artworks, clear Harley's name, and protect his bank and reputation. Their journey around the world will uncover corruption, threats, murder, and dark forces conspiring to destroy the world's wealth. They will also face off against a villain determined to bring the world to ruin at any cost.
