Maiden Voyage - by Bradley Harper (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Three female thieves, a priceless painting, and a Pinkerton agent aboard the Titanic. What could go wrong?

The year is 1912. Colette DuVall, a young jewel thief from Canada, boards the RMS Titanic alongside Mary Carr, the ruthless Queen of London's infamous Forty Elephants gang. Their target is a priceless painting hidden among the first-class cabins of the most celebrated ship ever built. Their plan is airtight. Their timing is perfect. And then Colette meets Harry Worth. Harry is a Pinkerton agent hired to protect the wealthy passengers on board. He is also the son of one of history's most notorious criminals, and he is beginning to question which side of the law he actually belongs on. When Harry and Colette find each other, loyalties fracture, trust becomes the most dangerous thing either of them can afford, and the clock is already counting down to the night the ocean swallows everything.

From Edgar Award Finalist and Arthur Conan Doyle Estate recommended author Bradley Harper comes a thunderous historical heist that puts love, loyalty, and survival on a collision course with the most famous disaster in maritime history.

Some stories end when the ship goes down. This one is just beginning.
