REVENGE WILL BE HIS MASTERPIECE
When insurance investigator Robert Duran's wife, world-famous artist Anona Stack, succumbs to a terminal disease, his world is shattered. But when her body is stolen from the family crypt and the rosary beads she was buried with turn up in Duran's car, the nightmare really begins.
Now suspected of murdering her, Duran is hounded by the police, rejected by Anona's family, and even subjected to violent attacks. If he doesn't find out who is behind these bizarre events he knows he will be destroyed.
The secret must lie somewhere in his own work as a specialist in recovering stolen art and unmasking forgers—work that pitted him against criminals as brilliant and unpredictable as the artists they preyed on.
For someone, somewhere, is putting the finishing touches to a conspiracy so deadly, so perfect, it's almost a work of art.<

About the author
Jerry Kennealy has worked as a police officer, as well as a licensed private investigator, adding great authenticity to his novels. Besides the Polo mysteries, two of which have been nominated for Shamus Awards, he's written several non-series thrillers lately. He's a member of the Mystery Writers of America and the Private Eye Writers of America. Praise for Jerry Kennealy "Kennealy infuses even high-stakes moments with a sense of light-hearted fun, and the plot is trickier to puzzle out than one might expect." —Publishers Weekly on Jigsaw "It's fun to see Carroll squeezed between two cops who like him for two different crimes, and there's lots of trivia for Hitchcock buffs." —Kirkus Reviews on Jigsaw "As always, Kennealy delivers hard-boiled excitement nicely dressed with humor and style." —Booklist on All That Glitters "Kennealy keeps a firm grip on his readers with a smart pace and a light, intelligent tone that's never cute. We're also treated to intriguing lore about investigating procedures in the electronic age, scenic and historic bits, and a lively background romance." —Publishers Weekly on Beggar's Choice "I can't wait 'til Kennealy's next novel hits the bookstores." —San Francisco Examiner "A winner full of gritty policework and international intrigue. Kennealy makes San Francisco one of his main characters. His other characters ring true partly because of the realistic dialogue." —San Francisco Examiner (The Conductor) "Enjoyable... action-filled." —Publishers Weekly (The Conductor) "Kennealy's characters, combined with his seasoned ability to weave several plot elements into a smooth whole... stand out in the thriller genre." —Publishers Weekly (The Suspect) "A crime thriller that has prize winner written all over it. Enthralling." —Harriet Klausner (The Suspect) “GRITTY.” —San Francisco Examiner (The Other Eye) “ACTION-FILLED.” —Publishers Weekly (The Other Eye)
