In The World Of Fine Art, Authenticity Can Kill
A missing masterpiece.

And a man who refuses to let either be destroyed.
When Jet Rider returns to help his friend Eleanor Ashford, he finds her art gallery entangled in a dangerous forgery scheme — and her niece, the young artist Lena Carter, caught in its crosshairs.
From quiet Ashwood streets to Chicago’s glittering underworld, Jet uncovers a network that launders stolen art beneath layers of paint and deception.
Armed with a soldier’s discipline and a detective’s patience, Jet will risk everything to save them — and to expose the truth hidden beneath the second canvas.

5.0 out of 5 stars: Twisty Mystery for the win! 🏅
I received an advance digital copy of this book and this is my honest and voluntary review! 😊🖤
Jet Rider is retired military working as an independent detective. Eleanor Ashford is a fine art dealer and at some point on the way to her client the real painting was swapped with a fake.
This is a fast paced mystery with plenty of twist and turns keeping you on the edge of your seat. If you like a twisty mystery, definitely check this one out!Jet is an amazing character – smart, tough, real, and flawed. It is nice to have a great character that isn’t perfect in everything they do. Jet manages to put everything together in a realistic way to solve the crime. This is a great story with surprises along the way. I am loving the Jet Rider series.

I received an ARC and this is my voluntary review. Another great read in the exciting Jet Rider series. This time Jet is helping Eleanor and her niece Lena uncover forgery and save the reputation of the gallery. A great fast read thrilling book that never lets up on the suspense. Also a tantalizing breadcrumb at the end about the upcoming next book in this series. All these books in the series are binge-worthy and this one is no exception.
Excellent, fast paced mystery that is perfect for a quick afternoon read. Jet is that character you would like to have coffee with.
