Kate Callahan, New York TV Anchorwoman begins an art series focusing on looted paintings never returned to Holocaust victims. At the same time there is a serial killer lose in New York.

The author works to intertwine these to threads with Kate Callahan’s personal life as several men vie for her attention.

An excellent mystery, a promising romance with family and friends combined in a taut suspenseful package.

Highly repetitive (I was going to throw the book at the wall if they mentioned one more time the limo driver looking like a "prized fighter ;) Also lacking suspense and climax. I figured most of the book within a few chapters....

I actually read the Kindle version. The book is a lot like a good Mary Higgins Clark. It kept me engaged.
