Recovering the Nude (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781609752835)

"Oh my gosh, Nicky. She's starkers!"

Detective Nick Christmas and his partner

Randi are staking out the art gallery curator's young protégé who may know more

about the apparent theft of a famous painting of a nude goddess. Could his

unidentified model be involved? Someone at the manor of the wealthy patron

who purchased it? Or maybe one of the Marilyn Monroe lookalike finalists

from the curator's beauty contest promoting a mysterious exhibit to be unveiled

at her Fourth of July gala?

From the heights of Oregon's Portland Vista Bridge landmark to the nearby tony

Pearl District's art scene, they will use whatever resources available, including

Randi's close relative and Nick's former Nohomish County detective partner, to

track down what happened to the painting.
