On a full moon night in Rotterdam, three Dutch thieves break into the Kunsthal museum and steal four paintings-including two Monets, a Picasso, and Woman with Eyes Closed. Inspired by the real 2012 art heist, this literary thriller follows British MI-6 agent Kit Hobbs, who is unexpectedly assigned to the case. A tip leads him to Sagaponack, New York, where the Monets may be hidden in the bunker of a Russian mobster with a beach house-and a taste for stolen masterpieces.

Just down the beach, Perrin Clayton-daughter of a once-famous abstract expressionist painter-is newly married to art-world superstar Jack Triplett. Their glamorous Hamptons life dazzles from the outside, but something vital is missing. When Kit, whose connection is Jack's gallerist, meets Perrin at a party in the Russian's home, he notices the mobster's fascination with her-and devises a risky plan to draw her into his investigation.

​

Meanwhile, the thieves are on the run, their alliance unraveling. As Kit and Perrin are pulled deeper into each other's lives, and a hurricane barrels toward the coast, the fate of Woman with Eyes Closed hangs in the balance--along with their own uncertain futures.
