The Art Thief: A Sophie Taylor Thriller

By Mr. Daniel Llewellyn Shaw

The gripping sequel to The Sommelier

The Art Thief is a high-stakes thriller about Sophie Taylor-UC Berkeley art historian by day, master thief by night. California-born and Paris-raised, she flies often to the City of Light to lecture... and to steal. Her husband, Zach, a celebrated San Francisco sommelier, knows nothing about her double life. For eight years she's stolen priceless paintings from Paris's finest homes with her partner, the charmingly larcenous dealer Gabriel Martel. Their scheme is elegant: Sophie steals the originals, Gabriel commissions flawless forgeries, then sells the fakes to unscrupulous black-market buyers and quietly returns the real works. They split the profits and send them to offshore accounts. No complaints, no victims-or so Sophie tells herself. But Gabriel has ambitions of his own-and blind spots big enough to attract the French police, as well as others with deadlier motives. Soon the con spirals beyond Sophie's control, and the race is on: for the money, the paintings, and the truth behind a betrayal worth millions to the winner.

"A cunning tale of art, deception, and betrayal that keeps you guessing until the final brushstroke. The Art Thief delivers high-stakes intrigue with an unforgettable twist." - goodreads
