Summary:

"A reformed art thief on assignment for the FBI, Tom Kirk is in a Las Vegas casino with $20 million to purchase a Caravaggio masterpiece unseen for nearly half a century-- a transaction that's brutally cut short by gunfire. A shattering assassination rocks Kirk's world, plunging him and unorthodox Italian detective Allegra Damico into an international web of evil that encompasses the Church, politicians, the police, and the Mafia. The road Kirk and Allegra must now follow is twisting and treacherous, winding through Vatican secrets, blood oaths, and Swiss betrayals. And death surely waits at the end"--Page 4 of cover

Summary

"Meet Tom Kirk...heir to the throne of the twisty international thriller, a seat that has belonged to Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan for more than two decades."

--Cleveland Plain Dealer

The Geneva Deception by James Twining brings back reformed art thief Tom Kirk for a fourth nail-biting outing. A high-wire act of fast-paced narrative and engaging mystery, The Geneva Deception has Kirk racing across the globe on the trail of a missing masterpiece and a killer whose grisly handiwork copies scenes from classic works of art. If you haven't yet discovered James Twining ("A worthy successor to Forsyth, Follett, and Higgins." --Christopher Reich) or his intrepid protagonist Tom Kirk ("An action hero as adroit and charismatic as Clive Cussler's Dar Pitt." --Library Journal), here's an excellent place to start.
