Opis

Deavereau is a CLEVER detective who searchs for lost treasures for his clients. They are not always gold and silver, but more exciting artifacts, like the Napoleon Clock he has been hired to retrieve by the suave Benjamin Franklin Spears. Spears has proven to be devious and cunning while testing Deavereau in many ways. He has a boss, but Deavereau can't seem to find him until the very end of the book Lori, Deavereau's protege, finds him hard to deal with at times, especially when it comes to his fixation on things that seem irrevelant to the cases he contracts for. Sergeant Brown and Abby, friends from the past, try to help him through the twists and turns of this case. Joanne is a temptress, but one with answers that help put the puzzle together, under Lori's watchful eye. The investigation starts using the computer, a few phone calls, and after findng the first clue, our Deavereau finds himself involved with a lot more than he bargained for. There is a lot of money on the line, more money than Deavereau could have imagined in the beginning. Could the payday at the end be the one he really wanted? Was the retainer enough? Once you start reading this exciting and fast moving book you won't want to put it down until the end, so be prepared to sit back, get something cold to drink, set the chips beside you and enjoy a couple of hours.
