"If you loved The Thomas Crown Affair, then The Esposito Caper is a must read." -Cate Masters, award-winning author of Angels, Sinners, and Madmen
Crime is easy. Family is tough. And for Gino Esposito, family obligations could be the end of him. His grandfather wants to prove he's the genius behind another artist's works. All he needs is for Gino to steal a diary that's currently in the possession of the Mafia.
Problem is, the diary sits in the guarded San Francisco villa of a formidable, wealthy, and connected widow. Gino needs help, but all he's got is Cousin Carla, an exotic dancer with aspirations of opening a ballet studio, and girlfriend Francesca, whose boss has had her framed for embezzlement.
From Sardinia to San Francisco, it's a maze of stolen masterpieces, deadly secrets, murder, and the Mob. It's The Esposito Caper - where love and larceny collide in a fast-paced caper and innocence is just a matter of degree.
