International Art Crime Thrillers with Global Stakes
Stories where art, power and obsession, collide.
I write international art crime thrillers set against a global backdrop — stories driven by stolen masterpieces, hidden histories, and the people willing to cross every line to possess them. My novels explore power, loyalty, and the long shadows cast by the past, moving from Europe to the Middle East and beyond.
New Horizons Ahead
After the Sinclair Files trilogy, Jafaar Sinclair and Rachel Sharpe return in a bold new direction — the upcoming ARTIST series, following an elite international art recovery team operating beyond traditional boundaries.
Coming Soon —
The A.R.T.I.S.T. Series
For years, Jafaar Sinclair fought to build a unit capable of taking on the new face of art and antiquities crime — where stolen history vanishes through encrypted channels, private collectors hide behind power, and the trail rarely stays legal for long.
Now the unit exists.
With Rachel “Razor” Sharpe at his side and a hand-picked international team, ARTIST operates in the grey zones — recovering what shouldn’t be lost, confronting networks that don’t play by rules, and stepping into situations where diplomacy often ends and action begins.
Cloak-and-dagger when it has to be.
Relentless when it counts.
Because in this world, once cultural history disappears… it rarely comes back.
