What do you do when your best friend is on the line- the end of your fishing line? Finding his murdered best friend’s body drags a soon-to-be-retiring financial executive into the ruthless world of con artists and scammers that prowl idyllic Nantucket Island for unsuspecting marks.

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.
