Angus volunteers to help Frank, and discovers Venable is the subject of a task force looking into smuggling immigrants out of war-torn countries in the Middle East.Angus, who knows nothing about art and speaks no Italian, may be in over his head as he is assigned to befriend, and ultimately betray, Venable. But with the help of his Italian-speaking brother and his art-loving boyfriend, he may be able not only to retrieve the painting, but solve a smuggling case and potentially save thousands of lives.The investigation will take him from the sun-drenched rooftops of Venice to a private yacht speeding down Fort Lauderdale's New River. Along the way, he'll learn the true meaning of survival."Fast-paced, fun and as fresh as a South Florida ocean breeze." – PJ Parrish, New York Times bestselling author on The Next One Will Kill You.
