2:00 a.m. Just outside of Toulouse, France, an obscure warehouse sits in the middle of a forgotten orchard. A monstrous evil is hidden away within its musty interior where four men have gathered in secret conclave. Powerful men-and ruthless beyond comprehension-they comprise the core of a multi-national cartel dealing in Holocaust art stolen by the Nazi’s during World War II. The purpose of their nocturnal gathering is to determine the fate of one of their own. Six hundred kilometers away, in Villefranche-sur-Mer, Jake Moriarity is enjoying blissful days and balmy nights in Gaspard Ducharme’s Mediterranean family villa while he recovers from serious injuries suffered as a result of his conflict with Yves Barreau. Surrounded by his best friend and family, life is good and worries are few, for Gaspard Ducharme is a kind and generous host…who will be dead by morning unless Jake Moriarity can fight his way through more twists and turns than an Olympic Giant Slalom and save his friend.The fast paced action takes the reader on a frantic journey from the Cote d'Azur of Southern France, to the Costa Brava of Catalonia, the deserts of Las Vegas and finally to the high rises of West Hollywood. And in the end, Jake Moriarity will be left wondering if he can trust anyone…including himself.
