Stealing Ghosts

<p><strong>Dorotea DeVillardi is ninety-one years old gorgeous and worth a fortune. Matt Friedrich’s going to steal her.</strong></p><p>The Nazis seized Dorotea’s portrait from her Viennese family then the Soviets stole it from the Nazis. Now it’s in the hands of a Russian oligarch. Dorotea’s corporate-CEO grandson played by the legal rules to get her portrait back but he struck out. So he’s hired the DeWitt Agency to get it for him – and he doesn’t care how they do it.</p><p>Now Matt and Carson his ex-cop partner have to steal Dorotea’s portrait from a museum so nobody knows it’s gone and somehow launder its history so the client doesn’t have to hide it forever. The client’s saddled them with a babysitter: Dorotea’s granddaughter Julie who may have designs on Matt as well as the painting. As if this wasn’t hard enough it looks like someone else is gunning for the same museum – and he may know more about Matt and Carson’s plans than he should.</p><p>Matt went to prison for the bad things he did at his L.A. art gallery. Now he has a chance to right an old wrong by doing a bad thing for the best of reasons. All he has to do is stay out of jail long enough to pull it off.<br /> </p>
