Marty and Bo were chasing money – they caught more than they bargained for …

Most investor pitch meetings don’t end in murder – but then business partners Marty and Bo haven’t had a lot of luck lately. They’ve been struggling to keep their startup company alive. It’s not high-tech, it’s not highly successful and the pressure to find capital has strained their bank accounts and Marty’s marriage.

So when Nico Scava offered to invest, they eagerly accepted. He had money, connections in the art world, and a creative idea, but maybe they should have asked more questions. Now Nico’s dead and they’re on the hook for whatever scheme he was running. The Russian mob is after them, and if they don’t find ten million dollars and a mysterious missing painting in the next few days, they’ll be dead too. 

Their frantic chase leads them from a cabin in the Oregon woods to a Portland strip club, from an aging artist to a bogus baron, and deep into the history of a missing masterpiece that someone is willing to kill to obtain.  As the bodies pile up, Marty and Bo will have some tough choices to make about how far they’ll go to protect their families, their company, and themselves.

The BookLife Prize
