Bruce Arrujo, professional art thief. Bruce Arrujo, Attorney-at-Law, recently hired by Boston's most prestigious law firm.
The reason for his career change? Boston's red-hot real estate market has suddenly crashed, and Bruce figures that some of his new firm's institutional clients won't notice if a couple of million dollars is siphoned away during the resulting chaos.
But the police definitely notice when a local art museum is robbed of $100 million in art. And they definitely notice when a transvestite prostitute is found strangled in a Back Bay alley.
Is Bruce behind one or both of these crimes? Or has he, instead, become the unwitting puppet of an unseen adversary? And when a stunning young Harvard Law School student gets dragged into the mess, will Bruce betray his love for her in order to ensure his own fortune?
At stake? Millions of dollars. A lifetime in jail. The love of his life.
