Boston. A wintry night two hours past the end of the 1990 St. Patrick’s Day. Two simultaneous art thefts, two miles apart. One in a museum. One in a private residence. One nets $200 million in art collected by a turn of the 20th-century heiress. The other nets two stolen pieces bought by a wine merchant through his best friend, Harry Bartlett. Two low-level crooks carry out the first one. Uncle Louie, a stolen-art retrieval expert, performs the second. The duo leaves via Storrow Drive east. Uncle Louie goes west on the same road. Their paths will cross more than once before a ransom demand expires in seven days.

Release date May 2023. Fresh from the thrill of uncovering Yesac Trebor’s scams on Nantucket Island, Harry Bartlett had found it easy to leave his Chief Financial Officer job to start the Fraud Detective Group. Three months later, Harry is finding that making payroll and keeping the lights on is just as hard as tracking down fraudsters and con artists. To generate business, he’s hitting the runny-egg circuit of Rotary Clubs and Chambers of Commerce north of Boston when Megan Webster, the TV consumer reporter who’d helped him before throws Harry a lifeline. A local businessman needs his help to find his normally dependable but slightly squirely CFO. Not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth, the FDG agrees to help. But the simple missing person’s case takes the FDG onto the trail of intricate financial crimes and murder while forcing Harry to confront his murky orphaned past.

aUTHOR Bio
The idea for Harry’s stories sprang from my Accounting students' reactions to fraud anecdotes and from thinking about my retirement. I considered speaking about avoiding fraud, but writing mystery fiction seemed to be more fun.
I wrote my first story while commuting and that became SCAMMED, a soon-to-be-published story pitting Harry against intricate and ruthless con artists. The 2nd story I wrote and the 1st one I published was CONNED, about Harry’s journey from a financial executive to a fraud detective while tracking down scams on Nantucket. The 2nd story published was DUPED, a fictional account involving Harry and his Uncle Louie's efforts to beat a ransom deadline and find the $500 million in art stolen from the Isabella Gardner Museum. My 4th book will be about Harry’s grandparent's interactions with Charles Ponzi in 1920s Boston.
As for me, I settled in Boston after meeting my wife at Boston College. I earned my CPA and worked as a CFO and Controller. I uncovered several embezzlement schemes in my career.
I live with my family in a Boston suburb.
I hope you enjoy the stories. I had fun writing them.
