Revenge of the Prodigal: A Gripping Crime Thriller (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781737298816)

A Gripping Art Heist Crime Thriller

On the canvas of South Philadelphia, fresh blood blends with ancient pigments . . . and a prodigal plots his revenge.

Rumors have begun to swirl about a Rembrandt stolen in the Gardner Museum heist in 1990. Could it really be stashed away in a Philadelphia church after all these years?

A Russian oligarch taps Nick Di Nobile to return home to hunt for the painting, "Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee." But, a Saudi Prince wants the masterpiece for his own private collection.

Deep in the heart of South Philadelphia sits Caffè Vecchio, where friends and enemies mingle . . . and buy each other drinks. Nick rounds up the old crew at Caffè Vecchio for one last score, but is one of them secretly working for the other team?

The strings pulled in Monaco and Riyadh dictate the action, from the taprooms of South Philly to the tiki bars of South Florida.

As he navigates a landscape littered with crooked F.B.I. agents, beautiful assassins, and shady priests, Nick starts to question whether he is more like his dead father than he realized, and if so, does that mean losing the woman he loves?
