Synopsis: A former art and document expert forced into a life of crime as a mastermind uses his intelligence to orchestrate heists catering to the whims of the super-rich who want to circumvent the law. The story opens with the protagonist employing a skilled cat burglar to replace a painting with an exact duplicate provided by his client. Several years later, a billionaire wishes the return of four very rare automobiles, which he was forced to sell during his divorce. To switch the real cars with replicas, a plan is hatched to perform the sleight of hand while the vehicles are on a moving semi-trailer, which cannot be stopped. Like a ghost from the past, the protagonist replaces the same painting yet again. Now, both replacements must occur simultaneously with split-second timing for the plan to work. The addition of a consummate grifter to the team makes it all possible. This time, the mastermind involves himself in the art of the con to stop his plan from unraveling. Autobiography: From an early age, I enjoyed creating stories using my imagination and creativity. My career involves acting as a writer/producer for various video and visual media, bringing these ideas to life. Some of my ideas include a detective story as seen through the eyes of the investigator, a time travel novel set in the year 2065, and novels related to my interest in aviation. The inspiration for my story ideas comes from my experiences and my desire to constantly learn as I go through life. I also like to explore personal relationships as they develop and change through interaction with others.
