The Squire Thief: A forgery hidden by a murder disguised as a theft

He steals treasures. Someone else leaves death behind. Veteran cop Richard Whitney must untangle a web of forgeries and murder before it reaches his family. For years, the wealthy residents of Old Brookville, New York, have shrugged off the burglaries of The Squire—a thief who steals antique silver and leaves behind handwritten notes. But when a socialite is found dead and her husband’s painting proves to be a counterfeit, Whitney is forced to see the crimes in a darker light. These new crimes stand in stark contrast to The Squire’s quirky thefts, and Whitney suspects someone far more dangerous is hiding in the thief’s shadow—putting him at odds with his superiors who think otherwise. With help from his daughter, a college art student, Whitney follows a trail of deception that leads uncomfortably close to home. When a silver spoon arrives at the station—along with a chilling threat to his daughter—the investigation turns personal. A layered mystery of art, deception, and hidden motives—where even the smallest clue can expose the truth.
