What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
Prepare to be hooked by James Patterson's newest thriller in which an art student must orchestrate the heist of a lifetime to save her father...
A rare masterpiece by Picasso is about to go to auction, and the whole world is watching.
But bright art student Halston Graham sees an opportunity. One that could secure millions for her future – and freedom for her wrongly imprisoned father…
To pull off the crime of the century, she must assemble an unlikely crack team: an expert in forgery, a ruthless mob boss, and an eccentric fashion designer.
In a game where trust is a luxury and failure is not an option, will Halston’s brilliance be enough to outsmart her enemies?
'A dizzying switchback thriller... Halston is a brilliant heroine' - The Times
'Weeks before thieves broke into the Louvre, James Patterson started promoting an upcoming jewellery heist novel. The Picasso Heist is now ripped-from-the-headlines relevant.' - USA Today
'The Picasso Heist is a thrilling, engaging, funny, at times moving, scintillating read' - Felicity Jones, Oscar-nominated actress and audiobook narrator
'Patterson is in a class by himself' Guardian
