Thriller P.I.
When an American Army unit arrived at the end of the war,
some soldiers appropriated items in what appeared to be
abandoned circumstances. A small painting by a mid-level
Polish painter is used by an ex-GI to float a bank loan
which results in the founding of a manufacturing firm in
Minneapolis. Now the painting and the ledger become the
center of murderous attempts by the descendants of the
veteran to conceal the paintings journey. World-wide efforts
at repatriation of stolen art from WWII is a major ongoing
effort and the story links to that effort as international
operatives descend on the Twin Cities. Enter private
detective Sean Sean. He is a short but effective operative
who, unlike many PIs of the modern era, doesnt sleep around,
doesnt shoot people unnecessarily, and has many friends
among various local law enforcement agencies.
