PI Dakota Stevens is a former FBI field agent and crime scene investigator, an anti-hero with the witty magnetism of a Harlan Coben protagonist. Svetlana Krush, Dakota's partner, is a Ukrainian-American chess champion with the eyes of a predator, a heart of gold, and fluency in seven languages. In the intricately-plotted "A Real Piece of Work", Dakota and Svetlana are hot on the trail of a missing painting for an art-dealing client when they wander into a labyrinth of thieves, spies, killers and Nazi fugitives.This is a great book, ten cuts above the usual indie-published first novel. It held my interest from beginning to end, and I can't wait to delve into the sequel. I have no doubt that we'll be seeing much more of author Chris Orcutt.
