The Art of Danger
by Stuart Doughty
How dangerous can a picture be? PI John Kite’s job is to recover stolen art, but this is a crime like no other. Three men are murdered to get a dull, forgotten painting. A crazy, pointless heist? Or something far more sinister?
In this action-packed crime-thriller, the tough ex-cop and firearms specialist Kite is up against a foreign spy who’s planning havoc and mayhem, not an art show. To complicate matters, Kite’s being followed by a kooky – and sexy – young woman. Where does she fit in? Even worse, Kite’s got a shameful secret in his past that he thinks is well hidden – until he realises someone’s on to it and the odds stack up to produce an action-packed thriller.
What Kite is chasing down isn’t just a painting: it’s the most explosive art in the world. Can he stop the impending cataclysm?
"I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed it. A treat. I’m a fan. A hugely entertaining story. Characterisation is superb." (Crime writer E V Seymour)
“Brilliant read. Strong characters” (Goodreads reviewer)
“Plot had some very cool twists” (Goodreads reviewer)
“Excellent author…confident in his ability to move the story forward…” (Goodreads reviewer)
