Read OnlineTom Fairchild is a man
with a past he can’t shake. He’s struggling to make it as a graphic
artist, but his probation officer thinks he belongs in jail. When
millionaire Miami real estate developer Stuart Barlowe offers him
$50,000 to travel to Italy to duplicate a rare Renaissance map, Tom sees
a way to solve his problems. The only catch is that Barlowe’s daughter,
Allison, a map expert herself, has to supervise the project. Allison
and Tom fell in love as teenagers, but that was twelve years ago, and
now Allison thinks Tom is lying. There’s no way he can make a perfect
copy. Tom soon suspects that Barlowe wants a forgery, not a duplicate. He just doesn’t know why,
and Allison isn’t talking. When people start turning up dead, and Tom
and Allison realize they are being tailed by two men—one a ruthless hit
man and the other a rogue government agent—it quickly becomes clear that
they have no one to trust but each other.
