Synopsis

After representatives from the world's most prestigious art museums are murdered in the Mexican beach town of Zihuatanejo, John Standard gets entangled in a deadly art heist.
 
Standard is hired to transport a package from the airport to a local hotel. Inside is a lost masterpiece by Rafael, worth an estimated $350 million. When the art dealer is killed, Standard finds himself the custodian of the painting, and a target in a deadly game.
 
Believing that the reclusive billionaire Carlos Strasser is behind the murders, Standard sets out to uncover the truth. The closer Standard gets to Strasser and his ruthless henchman, Heinz Richter, the more dangerous his mission becomes. With lives on the line and millions at stake, Standard must use every ounce of cunning to outmaneuver his powerful adversary.
 
A gripping crime thriller set in Mexico, THE LAST MASTERPIECE is the fifth book in Tom Towslee's John Standard series.

    One folded flag . . . and the man she vowed to spend her life with was gone. 
     
     
     
    Her husband was supposed to come back, but now Rossalyn must rebuild and raise their son alone. Leaving their old life behind, she takes thirteen-year old Ryan cross-country to the small town where she grew up. On the road trip home, she makes a discovery. 
     
     
     
    An old building on Main Street catches her eye and sparks an idea. Rossie knew immediately that it would be a perfectly charming place for a business . . . but what kind? When Ryan brought home a library book on bacon, her course was set. She had to open a BBQ and bacon café, and call it Hawg Heaven. Her late husband would have loved it. 
     
     
     
    Things are not quite as sweet as they seem in the small town, however. 
     
     
     
    A body is found behind her new business, which spurs a string of unfortunate events that pushes Rossie to the edge. Who is the menacing biker that shows up at the oddest times? Why does the sheriff have a chip on his shoulder? 
     
     
     
    Rossalyn never expected to become an amateur sleuth, but if she doesn't figure out whodunit, the sheriff may try to pin the murder on her. Are she and Ryan next on the killer's list? Will she figure out the clues in time?

    Bullets, Bombs, Mayhem and lots of Action and Fun! The Kindle edition has 4.7 Stars on 616 Amazon Reviews and 4.6 on Goodreads. A great read and a great listen, too!  
    There's a Chinese spymaster in DC stealing US Special Ops war plans, a nest of Chinese agents inside Fort Bragg, a Chinese Navy task force headed into the South China Sea to create mischief, and they just shot up Bob Burke’s new pickup truck! Yes, trouble’s brewing in Sherwood Forest, and it isn’t a pot of green tea. He's a mild-mannered, slight of build, telecommunications company executive, often dismissed as the "telephone guy." But after four tours running 'special operations' missions in Iraq and in the rugged mountains of Afghanistan as an Army Ranger and Delta Force commander, he's one of the most lethal weapons the US government ever produced. 
    And when The Ghost gets the call, he and ‘Ace’ Randall don't hesitate to help. Time to bring out the Barrett .50 caliber sniper rifles, turn The Geeks loose, and call in some Delta pals from Fort Bragg. A possible world war is is building in the South Pacific and it wouldn't be fair to leave The Merry Men out of the fun, would it?

    Following a failed love affair in England, Lady Bridget O'Hara accepts an invitation to travel to colonial Australia as companion to Lady Rosamund Tallant, the wife of the newly-appointed governor of Leichardt's Land. In Leichardt's Town, Lady Bridget, also known as Biddy, is reunited with her old friend and collaborator, Joan Gildea, special correspondent for The Imperialist newspaper. While visiting Joan, Biddy meets Colin McKeith, a roughly-hewn, Scottish-born pioneer, drover, miner, sometime-politician, and magistrate in the north-eastern colony. Biddy and Colin fall in love: she with the adventure a life with him promises, he with an ideal of her noble heritage. In spite of Joan Gildea's misgivings, Biddy and Colin are soon married and leave Leichardt's Town to travel several days north to Colin's cattle property in a region known as the Leura. As Biddy and Colin embark on their life together, the contemporary issues of colonial Australia are revealed: the extreme environment, labour shortages and organisation, police brutality, immigration policy, and the plight of Australia's First Peoples. The couple discover fundamental differences in their perspectives on many topics. When Bridget's former love, Willoughby Maule, newly-widowed and affluent, visits her in the Leura, the couple's strained relationship is further tested. (Summary by Kirsty Leishman)
