In the largest unsolved art heist in American history, twelve masterworks — including a priceless Vermeer — were stolen from a Boston museum on a foggy March night in 1990. Thirty-four years later, not one painting has been recovered.
When a Hartford insurance company hires private investigator Case Shannon to find what the FBI could not, he drives south from his small Maine town expecting a cold case. What he finds instead is a web of organized crime, federal investigators, and — at the center of it all — a secret that only one man alive still carries.
Shannon tracks the case from the fog-bound streets of Providence to a lighthouse on the Maine coast, gathering a cast of people whose lives have been bent permanently out of shape by one night in 1990: a third guard who was never in any official record, a dying woman trying to keep a deathbed promise, a Providence businessman caught between loyalty and a federal investigation closing around him — and the man who organized the theft himself, who has been living with what he did, and what it cost him, for thirty-four years.
STOLEN MASTERS is a literary crime novel about love and theft, about the things people protect and the prices they pay, and about a woman in a yellow jacket who stood at a window in Delft three hundred and fifty years ago and has been waiting, patiently, to come home.
