About The Book
A stolen painting. But is it what it appears to be? Taken from the home of the owner of the oldest pastry bakery in Palermo, Sicily - it then ends up in the possession of a powerful mobster-Luca Scorza-the nephew of one of Mussolini’s top lieutenants-with a sordid history involving the owner of the bakery, Roberto Greco.
As he sends his two sons to America to hopefully retrieve the looted family heirloom, Greco and his boys think they know the long-held secret behind the work of art, but they could never suspect how the eventual truth would turn their world upside down! Meanwhile, Scorza and a ruthless Russian oligarch are hot on the trail of Parker Johnson, who inadvertently ends up not only with the mysterious painting and a fortune in illicit cash, but also with something far more important to the Mob that could bring down entire global criminal organizations.
Embark on a tumultuous and often brutal journey spanning from Sicily to Florida to the bustling streets of New York City. Witness the meticulous examination of the painting by forensic art experts, leading to astonishing revelations that have the potential to send shockwaves through the world.

What a great book. Fun, lighthearted, easy to read. Lots of short chapters which is great for me because I don’t tend to read for long periods of time.
