Book description
On the night of the St Patrick celebrations in 1990, some of the
world’s most famous and valuable paintings were stolen from Boston’s
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. They were never recovered, and there
were no clues as to their whereabouts - that is until now.
When Boston attorney Scott Finn takes on well-known thief, Devon Malley
as a client, he gets much more than he bargained for. Not only is he
asked to care for Devon’s teenaged daughter, Sally, while Devon awaits
bail, but his investigations into what he believed was a case of petty
theft, lead him to the underworld of Boston’s organized crime gangs,
links with the IRA and the realization that he may be close to solving
the mystery of the stolen paintings all those years ago.
But an Irishman who, at nine years old, saw his entire family murdered
before his eyes is determined to avenge their death. His commitment to
the cause is frightening and unrelenting, and he will never give up
until the job is finished . . .

Connelly thrown in . . . Crackles from the first page and doesn't let up
