Synopsis: FBI Special Agent Leah Capello knew the art world had a dark side, but kidnapping is a whole new hue. To save a young child she accepts the help of Joshua Fawls, who claims to be an art expert, seems a little psychic and is probably, more than likely, a delightfully skilled conman. Together they bend conventions, break rules, and learn that the artist Edgar Degas was right: Art is not what you see, but what you make others see. Just like the perfect crime.
This is a tale about the murky underworld of black market art sales and the lengths that some may go to in order to gain the piece that they so desperately want.
Add an FBI agent with a dash of naive notoriety and a man who is a "... fine looking, erudite, scam artist, art maven with a smile that makes you gushy ..." - and you have a narrative that could quite easily have been written with David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson in mind.
Quite an entertaining caper!
