Alan Bernhardt #5
Full Circle
A dying art collector asks Bernhardt to revisit him in his darkest hour
The first time Betty Giles went missing, her employers wanted her dead. They hired Alan Bernhardt, theater director and sometimes PI, to find her, but when he discovered their scheme, he drew a sawed-off shotgun to save her life. Now Betty's missing again, hiding somewhere in Europe, and her old bosses want her found. Will Bernhardt deliver her to the man who once tried to have her killed?
It certainly isn't easy to refuse Raymond DuBois, a billionaire art collector who insists his feud with Betty was nothing but an innocent misunderstanding. He's dying, and promises he can clear her name if Alan can only locate her. The case seems like a trap, but the director has one thing working for him. Unlike last time, he knows that trusting anyone could be suicide.

Alan Bernhardt, private investigator, is hired by multi-millionaire Raymond DuBois to sell and move his stolen art collection worth millions from his home. DuBois has heard that the Feds are after him and knows if he is caught, he will end his days in prison. He is already a prisoner in his own body as he needs people to care for his every need.
Bernhardt is working against other forces who also want their share of the millions.

FULL CIRCLE - VG
Wilcox, Colin - 5th in Alan Bernhardt series
Investigating his most dangerous case yet, stage director and part-time private investigator Alan Bernhardt uncovers a plot by a millionaire art collector and a sinister former employee to foment blackmail and conspiracy among San Francisco's elite society.
A San Francisco actor/PI, this is such a good series.
