A recovery agent follows a trail of missing art

Gabriela Rose’s work as a recovery agent brings her into a case involving priceless artifacts, a too-big-to-fail bank, and a trail of insurance investments with no paper record of who directed them. The person asking for her help is Rafer Jones, her ex-husband, whose cousin Harley faces prison as the apparent fall guy if the missing pieces are not recovered. The setup joins an art-recovery mystery to questions of financial responsibility and accountability, with Gabriela’s complicated connection to Rafer woven into the case.

Book overview

"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"--
