PICTURES
Robert Daley
2006
Harcourt

 

Daley’s seventeenth book, PICTURES is an exciting thriller with a fresh feel.
A security firm is hired to find out who took some photos of a certain European royal with a woman not his wife. The firm puts ex-NYPD Captain Vincent Conte on the job. He decides finding the “other” woman of the photograph is the key to putting an end to the blackmail. The case leads him all over Europe.
A cop by training, he is driven by a need for the truth, not a desire to make clients happy. Ultimately, Conte must decide what he cherishes more: his job or the truth.
Daley writes with a deft hand and a style that is uniquely his own. There is a reason why he’s such a great selling author, and the proof is on the pages. Fast pacing and tight plotting make this a real pleasure to read. Conte is an intriguing character and I would love to see him again.
