Books by Robert E O'Connell

Trey Hansen is the man they call to investigate multimillion-dollar art heists...but what happens when a CIA-trained assassin starts tying up loose ends? And what if that assassin might be his father? When international art detective Trey Hansen is brought in to investigate the biggest heist of his career-two paintings by Italian masters valued at more than $120 million-he uncovers an insidious network of deceit, money laundering, and global art theft that goes back decades and reaches into the highest halls of power. He soon finds that the entities behind the theft have put a bullseye on his back. The more he uncovers, the more the evidence suggests a link to the blackest ghost of Trey''s traumatic past-his estranged father, a taciturn abuser who fueled Trey''s obsession with chess, puzzles, and the pursuit of the Truth. Trey has long believed that his father was far more than an abusive parent, that he might be a sociopathic killer enmeshed in the U.S. government''s darkest conspiracies. But such a killer knows how to cover his tracks.Across the globe, Trey relentlessly pursues the stolen paintings, even as he becomes prey for the most ruthless predator of all, until he''s fighting not just for the Truth, but for his life and lives of his friends and family. If you love books by Robert Ludlum, John le Carr├⌐, and Frederick Forsyth, you won''t be able to put down this compulsively addictive thriller.
