The Picasso Heist

by James Patterson

First published 2025

Halston Graham stands in the shadows of New York City, studying the prestigious House of Echelon auction house. Inside waits a Picasso that spent a hundred years collecting dust in a French attic. Halston needs those millions. Her father sits wrongly imprisoned, and this heist could buy his freedom. She assembles her crew: a master forger, a Bulgarian mob boss with personal motives, and an eccentric fashion designer whose theatrical nature might open doors to the art world's inner circle. The plan demands precision. Trust becomes a dangerous gamble when everyone has hidden agendas. Halston must outmaneuver enemies who play by different rules. Her father's fate hangs on whether her intelligence can overcome the forces working against her. In this high-stakes game, one mistake destroys everything.
