Description: “Thriller master” (Mystery and Suspense Magazine) Janet Evanovich takes you on a global hunt to track down missing masterpieces in this action-packed and steamy follow up to the instant New York Times bestseller The Recovery Agent.
Gabriela Rose, recovery agent extraordinaire, can find just about anything. Too bad she can’t seem to lose her gorgeous-but-infuriating ex-husband Rafer Jones. And now he needs her help. His cousin, Harley, is in trouble…big trouble.
As the president of a too-big-to-fail bank, he invested an astronomical amount of money in insuring some of the world’s most priceless artifacts at the urging of his board. It seemed like a low-risk, high-reward business move, so he jumped in with both feet. But recently, these insured pieces started going missing and worse, there’s no paper trail of Harley being directed to make these risky investments. Unless the artwork can be recovered soon, it looks like Harley is going to be heading to jail as the fall guy for an ingenious crime.
Gabriela knows what she must do: travel around the world with Rafer to find the missing works of art, keep Harley out of jail, and save both his skin and his bank. Along the way, she’ll encounter corruption, threats, murder, mysterious dark forces behind a global conspiracy to destroy the world’s wealth, and a nefarious villain who will stop at nothing to bring the world to the brink of ruin.
My Thoughts: This is the second book starring Gabriela Rose, recovery agent. She can find anything which comes in handy when her ex-husband Rafer comes to her with his cousin Harley who is in big trouble. His bank has insured a bunch of artwork that has now been stolen leaving the bank on the edge of failing and Harley holding the bag.
Gabriela with Rafer and Harley following her around begins a journey all over the world to find the missing items - including the Rosetta Stone - to get Harley out of trouble. She's not the only one on the trail of the missing art. The mysterious Ahmed is searching for a missing Egyptian golden coffin that was part of the heist. And the group that arranged the thefts is also after Gabriela and gang. They travel from London to Egypt to Italy and all along the way Gabriela has useful friends.
This was a fun caper story. I liked the relationship between Gabriela and her ex. There was a lot of amusing banter.
