Overall this short is a fair introduction to author ability.  The dialogue is a bit juvenille and the premise is unique only in what is stolen - the rest is pretty cliche'.  That is not necessarily bad, but the devices and resolution were pretty contrived and very predictible.Two detectives need solve a crime at a local museum before the FBI or another agency arrive to steal the thunder and create a great deal of negative publicity for the community.  They have a routine questioning of a few suspects and solve the crime without any twists or surprises for the reader.  However, the thoroughness of the investigators lends credibility that the author could carry a full novel length premise and do more justice to building suspense and mystery to it.Fairly well edited.  I will try a longer work by author and see what happens.Christine
