An ingenious debut novel unravelling the heist of the century, in 1946, 1986 and present-day Boston

A group of criminals in 1946 pulls off the heist of the century, stealing a dozen priceless works of art from a Boston museum. But while the thieves get caught, the art is never found.

Forty years later, the last surviving thief gets out of jail and goes hunting for the loot, involving some innocent college students in his dangerous planβ€”and thirty years after that, in the present day, the former college kids, now all grown up, are drawn back into danger as the still-missing art tempts a deadly new generation of treasure hunters.

Charlesgate Confidential is a riveting tale of crime and mystery, crossing decades as the pursuit of lost treasure ensnares multiple generations.
