A financially desperate man needs to sell two valuable modern art paintings, which have a dubious history. His girlfriend, who has an equally questionable past, volunteers to help. When they arrive in Richmond, Virginia, previous entanglements with Chris Hamilton cause tension when they are offered for sale in a gallery owned by his sister, Jackie. After the paintings suddenly vanish, and there’s no evidence of a break-in, she becomes the prime suspect.Chris and his uniquely skilled girlfriend, Sophia Garcia, coax an old detective out of retirement to help solve the case and save Jackie. However, his once vaunted detective skills have deteriorated, and as the case becomes more complex, what evidence they do find incriminates her.When the FBI becomes involved, and two people turn up dead, Chris and Sophia become desperate and must use their combined talents to find the stolen paintings and discover the identity of the real criminal and keep his sister from being convicted of the crimes.The case is complex, the evidence convoluted, and the suspects are clever. Will anyone ever find out, “Where’s Jackson Pollock?”
