<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Undercover operative Jack Taggart of the RCMP is on a mission to find the murderer of a fellow officer. Posing as a pimp, he infiltrates an international crime syndicate led by a mysterious figure known only as the Ringmaster. His plan to find the killer is going well ... until the killer IDs him first.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Seeking justice for the murder of a fellow cop, Jack Taggart goes undercover to penetrate a gang whose leader is the culprit.</b><br/> <br/> Jack Taggart is out for justice, and just a little revenge, when he goes undercover as a pimp to hunt down the murderer of a cop to whom he owes an everlasting debt of gratitude. Embroiled in a mysterious international crime syndicate, for once Taggart might be in over his head.<br/> <br/> It seemed like a simple investigation of a drug trafficker at first, but when Taggart gets a desperate call for help from one of his informants, he falls headlong into a ruthless network of black marketeering and murder orchestrated by an elusive mastermind. After an Interpol agent is compromised and assassinated, Jack is drawn deeper into the web of crime as things get personal. Despite the constant risk of exposure, Jack is getting close, but any mistake could be fatal. As his allies fall, the only protection Jack has left is a stolen painting that might as well be a bullseye on his back.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[T]he whole tale will keep readers on the edge of their seats.-- "Publishers Weekly"<br><br>Easton knows how to drive his story full of teeth-shattering toughness, chivalry, honour, drug traffic and fine art theft, and it's a brutal pleasure seeing Jack Taggart through to the end.-- "National Post"<br><br>If you love good pulp, you'll love <i>Art and Murder</i>.-- "Globe and Mail"<br><br>The author, a veteran undercover cop, brings a high level of realism to a story that many writers would have difficulty matching.
