Carlos is retired FBI, art fraud being one specialty.  His father is a famous Spanish painter, who paid little attention to him, but enough so that he does speak the language and has an eye for detail.  He moves to an upscale community on the California Coast, pricey, artsy and with good restaurants.  He rents a cabin with a gorgeous view and maintains a reasonably low profile. He works on learning photography and gets some consulting work with a security firm and an upscale art dealer. He attracts women, he does not lie and seduce but his quiet, controlled manner and good looks, are like a magnet. He gets involved in several cases dealing with  illegals, art fraud, and murder.  A little more story and less frantic action make an interesting read. If this were a movie, I could see Jimmy Smits as Carlos.
