Description
An art-collecting dragon and a reformed delinquent team up to solve a seemingly unsolvable museum heist. Will they crack the case, recover the paintings, and make a tidy profit? In this delightful new mystery, the most infamous art theft in Boston history is recast with both human and supernatural players.
Every dragon needs a man on the inside.
Angharad Stoneweaver is a dragon with exquisite taste and the finest reputation in the art world for recovering lost masterpieces. What she lacks is the ability to fit through a doorway.
Ex-lowlife Sam Braun has landed the job as Stoneweaver’s right-claw man, working as her eyes and ears on the ground. Sam’s pay is good, the perks are better, and he has no regrets about trading the gutter for the good life.
But when the mobster (and friend of Sam’s late father) Carmine Delucci turns up dead, Stoneweaver’s latest investigation hits a little too close to home. Everyone knows Delucci was behind the largest heist in American history, but nobody knows what happened to the stolen paintings.
For Stoneweaver, it’s a mystery she cannot resist. For Sam, it’s an unraveling of his father’s seedy past, and a possible answer to an impossible question: What, exactly, is the power of art?
