New York City, 1923. When Jax and Laura Diamond arrive at the Biltmore Hotel for the Masquerade Ball, dressing up like a Musketeer isn’t the only thing that makes Jax uneasy. He discovers the hotel combined the event with a priceless art exhibit from France, and their security detail expects trouble.
While the guests enjoy a night of dancing, hors d’oeuvres, and champagne, Jax keeps a keen eye on a few suspicious characters. Yet, at the stroke of midnight and right under his nose, several masterpieces vanish, and two guards are dead.

In one of his toughest cases where no one is who they seem and both sides of the law are working against him, Jax turns to a hardened criminal for help in solving the case. And the game begins…
