I thoroughly enjoyed this piece of escapism and my time out from a hectic world. The story grabs you from the outset and pulls you in and the storytelling really made it worth reading. Characterisation was on point and I know I will be looking out for new publications from this author or similar in the future. A recommended read.

This is my first book by the Author and based on this one won't be my last .

Multi-faceted Bianca St Ives helps her father run his multi-national company , one with a difference ....... stealing from those who stole to give back to those stolen from .!

Bianca sets out to find out what really happened . But she is not the only one on the trail and with
only the help of a fellow criminal she must solve the mysteries around her whilst trying to stay alive .
This is an enjoyable fast paced mystery , with a plot full of twists and turns ........... just who can she trust ?

I was given an arc of the book by NertGalley and the Publisher in exchange for an honest review

In a small, one story house on the shore of Lake Michigan. On a cold October night a man was there to kill everyone who lived in the house. Mother Issa was waiting for husband to come home and four-year-old Beth was excited that daddy was coming home. A man set fire to their house and then blew Thayer's head off when he got out of his car. The man's mission had been completed he had killed everyone who had lived in the house.

Bianca is smart, talented and beautiful. She's also a high-end thief, a master manipulator, a card shark and a genius of disguise. A female Robin Hood running a multinational firm with her father, she makes a living swindling con men out of money they stole and giving it back to those who should rightfully have it. Her father has prepared her well to carry on the family business, and now the prodigy has surpassed the master.

But her latest mission didn't go to plan - millions of dollars and top secret government documents went missing, and her father was supposedly killed. But not everyone believes in his death, including US government. They'll stop at nothing to capture Richard St. Ives , a target who has been on most-wanted lists all over the world. Even if it means using Bianca as bait.

With only a criminal backup and her life on the line, it's up to Bianca to uncover the terrifying truth behind what really happened and set it right, before it's too late.
