Someone once said, "Bad artists copy; great artists steal." The combination of art and theft might have inspired a different form of criminal activity: Money laundering through art galleries. Jack Tyrrell, former Green Beret and Deputy Marshal, is about to depart for a winter weekend with his fiancée when he crosses paths with the general manager of an art gallery―fleeing for her life from two men with murderous intentions.
Before Tyrrell can get a cappuccino, he's plunged into the world of art, money laundering, sex trafficking, and weapons dealing. The story twists and turns from Greenwich Village in New York City to Upper Grosvenor Street in London, leading to a confrontation with a homicidal, narcissistic billionaire.

"Had Philip K. Dick channeled Charles Dickens, Jack Tyrrell is the character he would have created. A clever mix of
A Christmas Carol
and a stylish modern thriller, action-packed yet soulful, traditional yet highly original."
Theodore George, author of,

Murders on the Square
