Looting of archaeological sites is big business in a thriving art and antiquities black market. When a desperate foreign government hires Desiree Jacobs’s security company to stop the hemorrhage, she runs afoul of a deadly art-for-drugs operation. Tony Lucano risks his rising career in the FBI to dive into the international underworld after her. Before either of them can come up for air, they must navigate through a deepening murk of ruthless looters, hair-trigger DEA agents, crooked government agents, and innocent bystanders caught up in an illegal trade beyond their understanding. Even if a miracle delivers Desi and Tony from evil, will their love survive the test?

Complete with a reader’s guide, this third book in the To Catch a Thief series explores the power of hope in the darkest of circumstances.

This book is near and dear to my heart for a number of reasons:

1. It brings back the loveable characters of Desi and Tony.

2. It deals with the looting of antiquities which is similar to my current WIP!

and…

3. We get to meet Gina, Tony’s Italian mother!

But that’s the only reason to go out and get this book. Desi and Tony’s adventures take you on exotic journeys to new lands and into dangerous situations. Jill E. Nelson’s plots always deliver and seem to spiral around each other to a colliding climax. Filled with personal and public stakes, Reluctant Smuggler is a fun and exciting read.
