Blurb/Synopsis:
Dayton “Day” Ingram is recovering from an injury suffered in Mexico—and from his failed relationship with fellow Scorpion agent, Knight. While researching an old government document, Day realizes he might be holding the key to finding an artistic masterpiece lost since WWII.
But the Russians are looking for it too, and have a team in place in Eastern Europe hunting it down. Day and Knight are brought back together when they are charged with getting to the painting first.
Knight wants to leave Mexico and everything that happened there behind, and return to the life he had—except it wasn't much of a life. When he's partnered up with Day, keeping his distance proves to be challenging. But Day is as stubborn as Knight and isn’t willing to let him walk away.
Their assignment leads them through Germany and Austria with agents hot on their tail—agents willing to do whatever it takes to get to the masterpiece first. If Day and Knight can live long enough to find the painting, they might also discover something even more precious—each other.
Excerpt
“Excellent.” Dimato looked down at the file and then back up
at him. “Catch up on your e-mail and things, and then come to my office in an
hour. I have a task that I think is right up your alley. It’s research to
start, but it could quickly turn into more.” He smiled and then continued on
his way down the aisle of cubicles. Day sat down and booted up his computer,
then opened e-mail, groaning at the hundreds sitting in his in-box. He began
sorting them and managed to get through all of the routine things. The rest he
answered or forwarded to the appropriate people before meeting Dimato in his
office.
“Close the door.”
Day did and sat down. “What can I help with?”
“You’ve been watching the news on television,” Dimato
prompted, and Day nodded. “Then you know that the current Russian president is
becoming more and more like Stalin with each passing day. He’s moved to
reintegrate many of the former Soviet republics back under Russian control, and
we believe Eastern Europe is in his sights next. But they’ve had a very good
taste of freedom, and it isn’t likely he’ll succeed easily there.” Dimato
paused a moment, and Day nodded his agreement. Dimato wasn’t telling him
anything he hadn’t heard already.
“We’ve intercepted some communications from the Russians,
and I need you to use your linguistic skills to see if what we believe they’re
talking about is possible.” Dimato passed him a file.
“I can do that,” Day said as he took the file and opened it
to the first page.
“They’re looking for something that may have been lost
during World War II. I skimmed the file, and I couldn’t determine what they
were hunting for. But you may be able to figure it out.”
“I’ll do my best. What’s the priority?”
“Make it your top one for now. My instincts are telling me
there’s more here than we’ve figured out so far. It looks like they’re hunting
for a work of art, but the Russians wouldn’t spend a great deal of energy and
time on something unless it was important. What we intercepted was from the
military, so it’s important enough that they’re involved, and we need to know
why.”
“I’ll get on it right away,” Day stood, holding the file,
his heart beating a little faster. This was what he’d come to Scorpion
Logistical Services to do, and it made his blood race. He loved unraveling
mysteries and puzzles. He hoped the one he held would be interesting.
Dirk is very much an
outside kind of man. He loves travel and

all the other accessories that go with a corporate job. But he is most proud of the stories he tells
and the life he's built. Dirk lives in
Pennsylvania in a century old home and is blessed with an amazing circle of
