The Picasso Heist
(Author) James PattersonIn the heart of New York City, where the glittering lights mask shadows of deception, Halston Graham is about to attempt the impossible. A newly unveiled Picasso, hidden for a century in a dusty French attic, is set to be auctioned at the prestigious House of Echelon. And Halston has a cunning plan. One that could secure millions for her future, and freedom for her wrongly imprisoned father. But to pull off the heist of the century, she must assemble an unlikely team: a master forger, a ruthless Bulgarian mob boss with his own agenda, and an eccentric fashion designer whose flair for the dramatic might be their only ticket into the elite circles of the art world.
