Book excerpt: At the turn of the 19th century, Lord Elgin stole pieces of the Parthenon and shipped them to England. At the turn of the 21st century, Danny Samsel is going to steal them back. When does a wrong become right? Danny Samsel is a Master Thief. He has defeated the finest security systems in the world: Interpol wants him, the FBI wants him, the CIA wants him. After a year languishing on Kefalonia, he has turned his attention to the heist of the century. He has decided to steal the Parthenon Marbles from the British Museum and return them to Greece. His motives are not entirely altruistic: estranged from the beautiful Kastania, he wants her back in his life. And, he needs her help to steal the Marbles from the British Museum. With help from old friends worldwide, plus a few surprising ones, Danny pursues his goal, despite vicious interventions from Interpol and avaricious underworld art collectors. At great cost to him and his accomplices, Danny settles a few scores, outfoxes old foes, and guarantees the future of his chosen career. p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }
