The Trouble with Chance ISBN: B0D226F93C OCLC: Independently Published 2024 The heist of a world-famous painting from the London National Gallery sets off shock waves that reach all the way to Chicago, where artist Nora Chance is hospitalized after an attempted kidnapping. Yanked from the comfort of her predictable life, Nora is thrown into a sketchy underworld of drug lords, mob bosses, and a sadistic art thief who doesn’t care how many dead bodies he leaves in his wake. As those closest to Nora disappear one by one, she has only one person left to turn to: the shadowy Michael O’Neil, who appears out of nowhere to offer protection but whose motives may be sinister. With armed criminals closing in from all sides, Nora and Michael must unravel the mystery of the missing painting before Nora loses everything-- including her life. An action -packed whodunit offering romance, wit and jaw-dropping plot twists, The Trouble with Chance will keep you guessing along with Nora about who to trust, with the fate of a 400-year-old painting hanging in the balance. |
