Pictures

by Robert Daley

Overview

Explosive photos appear in every scandal magazine in Europe. A dynasty is threatened. Vince Conte, a defrocked New York Police captain now working for a discrete security firm, is assigned to find out what happened. Who was the woman, who was the photographer, who paid to have those photos made? The woman is hard to find, and once found hard to control. The photographer is even harder to find. The investigation takes Conte to Milan, Amsterdam, the French Riviera, Rome, the Alps. Answers turn up that no one wants to hear. Then people start dying, and Conte, torn between revealing the truth and keeping his job, may be next.--“In a literary age when every fictional detective seems to need a tic or an interesting past or a cat, there is something satisfyingly retro about Robert Daley’s Vincent Conte…you find yourself caring about these people and settling in for the ride…” – The Washington Post
