Fake money, blue smoke : a thriller
(Book)

"In the first caper from a 'promising new talent' (Publishers Weekly), a skilled counterfeiter hires a crew of career criminals to steal an artwork from a speeding train. When former platoon sergeant Matt Kubelsky is paroled from Ray Brook Federal Correctional Institute in upstate New York, he?s surprised to find his ex-girlfriend waiting for him out in the parking lot. An ex-girlfriend he?s spent years pining for after she dumped him and stopped answering his letters. An ex-girlfriend who wonders if her apparently criminally-hardened ex-boyfriend can help her out of some extra-legal difficulty of her own. During the years Matt was in prison, Kelly Haggerty discovered she couldn?t earn a satisfactory living as an artist, so she turned her artistic talents to counterfeiting foreign currency--and ended up embroiled in an international money laundering intrigue. Now she hopes she can get herself out of trouble with a cleverly-plotted theft and one last enormous score."--,Amazon.com.
