Sinopse
Características

Five criminals. Two forgeries. And one masterpiece of a heist.Violet Winters-a professional thief born of a good, honest thief-and-con-artist stock- has been offered the heist of a lifetime. Steal a priceless Salvador Dali from the security-obsessed chairman of the Kilchester Bank and replace it with a forgery.The fact that the painting is a signed, blank canvas doesnt matter. Its the challenge that gives Violet that familiar, addicting rush of adrenaline. Her quarry rests in a converted underground Cold War bunker. One way in, one way out. No margin for error.But the reason Violet fled Kilchester is waiting right where she left him-an ex-lover with a murderous method for dumping a girlfriend. If her heist is to be a success, there will have to be a reckoning, or everything could go spinning out of control.Her team of talented misfits assembled, Violet sets out to re-stake her claim on her reputation, exorcise some demons, and claim the prize. That is, if her masterpiece of a plan isnt derailed by a pissed-off crime boss-or betrayal from within her own ranks.Adam Maxwell is the indie writing scenes sharpest wit, and the Dali Deception is his slickest, funniest - and surrealist - caper yet.Damien Walter, Columnist for The Guardian.
