Description
NICK Di NOBILE HAS THREE DAYS TO TURN OVER A STOLEN MASTERPIECE OR HE'S DEAD.
BUT HOW DO YOU TURN OVER SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T EXIST?
Nick is stalked by a psychopathic killer, a crooked F.B.I. agent, and a Russian oligarch who are all convinced that Nick's father kept the painting hidden for decades after it was stolen in the Gardner Museum heist. Nick is forced to confront his past and the love he left behind while trying to stay one step ahead of his father's arch-enemy. But which is more deadly, art or love?
The clues Nick finds along the way reveal the one true masterpiece more valuable than any painting; a father's undying love for his prodigal son.
Synopsis
Nick Di Nobile is back.
Nick traded the hard streets of South Philadelphia for the soft sands of South Florida almost twenty years ago. The death of his best friend and a broken heart sent him to the Sunshine State in search of a fresh start.
Now Nick has returned to wrap up his father's estate, including his beloved Caffe Vecchio, but certain people from his past have other ideas.
Nick is forced to embark on a desperate mission to recover a priceless painting that may not exist. He gets help from some old friends, including at least one who secretly wants the painting for himself and will kill to get it.
How can Nick convince them all that the painting was just another tall tale spun by Tony Di Nobile to promote his Caffe?
Nick runs into Angie at the Paradise Bar. Can they rekindle a love that's grown ice-cold? Or was that just another elusive treasure that never existed?
Nick soon discovers that in art, as in love, nothing is as priceless as something you just can't find.
