The Dali Deception

<h3>Five criminals. Two forgeries. And one masterpiece of a heist.</h3><p>Violet Winters-a professional thief born of a good honest thief-and-con-artist stock- has been offered the heist of a lifetime. Steal a priceless Salvador Dali from the security-obsessed chairman of the Kilchester Bank and replace it with a forgery.</p><p>The fact that the painting is a signed blank canvas doesn't matter. It's the challenge that gives Violet that familiar addicting rush of adrenaline. Her quarry rests in a converted underground Cold War bunker. One way in one way out. No margin for error.</p><p>But the reason Violet fled Kilchester is waiting right where she left him-an ex-lover with a murderous method for dumping a girlfriend. If her heist is to be a success there will have to be a reckoning or everything could go spinning out of control.</p><p>Her team of talented misfits assembled Violet sets out to re-stake her claim on her reputation exorcise some demons and claim the prize. That is if her masterpiece of a plan isn't derailed by a pissed-off crime boss-or betrayal from within her own ranks.</p><p><i>Adam Maxwell is the indie writing scene's sharpest wit and the Dali Deception is his slickest funniest - and surrealist - caper yet.</i><br>Damien Walter Columnist for The Guardian.</p>
