The Picasso Job
by Avanti Centrae
November 18-21
One day he’s planning to marry his high school sweetheart and join the FBI.
The next, he’s behind bars.
Now, two thieves want him dead in…THE PICASSO JOB.
Chasing justice left Dakota Black a convicted felon. Inside the gray walls of Folsom State Prison, the blond farm boy who wanted to become an FBI agent finds himself mixed up with bow-legged Renoir Reza—a Machiavellian art thief with a deadly hidden agenda—and Cody Winters, the revenge-minded brother of the man Dakota supposedly put in the grave. To escape Winters’s attacks, Dakota joins Reza in a fiery jailbreak. They embark on a kamikaze crime spree seeking a five-million-dollar reward.
Before the bright lights of Reno are in their rearview mirror,
Special Agent Elizabeth Everett and her partner catch the scent of their trail. She arrested Reza before and won’t stop until his murderous global plans are snuffed out.
With loyalties shifting like the wind, will any of the three fugitives
manage to re-steal a Picasso painting? Or will Dakota die trying
to walk a tightrope between survival and virtue?
