Dash! — Annie Nicholas

Jack Dash is a rich, streetwise, professional thief from Los Angeles who plans one last heist with his mentor, Pop, a seasoned ex-jewel thief coming out of retirement. For what may be the biggest heist of his life, Jack plans to steal a pair of extremely rare art prints owned by none other than ruthless billionaire tycoon, Raul Shaeed. With a fortune to be made as well as an early retirement in Monte Carlo, Jack also has his sights set on the beautiful, cool British aristocrat, Billie Dean, who just so happens to be dangerously engaged to Raul. But Jack's plans fall through when his conscience gets in the way of his greed, putting him and Pop in an extremely perilous situation when the prints are discovered missing. With people wanting them dead, behind bars -- or both -- a deadly game of cat and mouse develops across two continents as Jack and Pop search for a solution to their multimillion-dollar dilemma. Annie Nicholas grew up in Manorbier on the Welsh coast. She is the author of The School and is currently working on a sequel to Dash! After a demanding corporate life that took her around the world many times, Annie enjoys painting in addition to writing (her work can be seen at www.arkanem.com) and now lives in Buckinghamshire, England.
