    On a full moon night in Rotterdam, three Dutch thieves break into the Kunsthal museum and steal four paintings---including two Monets, a Picasso, and "Woman with Eyes Closed." Inspired by the real 2012 art heist, this literary thriller follows British MI-6 agent Kit Hobbs, who is unexpectedly assigned to the case. A tip leads him to Sagaponack, New York, where the Monets may be hidden in the bunker of a Russian mobster with a beach house---and a taste for stolen masterpieces. 
      
    Just down the beach, Perrin Clayton---daughter of a once-famous abstract expressionist painter---is newly married to art-world superstar Jack Triplett. Their glamorous Hamptons life dazzles from the outside, but something vital is missing. When Kit, whose connection is Jack's gallerist, meets Perrin at a party in the Russian's home, he notices the mobster's fascination with her, and devises a risky plan to draw her into his investigation. 
    Meanwhile, the thieves are on the run, their alliance unravelling. As Kit and Perrin are pulled deeper into each other's lives, and a hurricane barrels toward the coast, the fate of "Woman with Eyes Closed" hangs in the balance---along with their own uncertain futures.
