A Novel of Crime and Suspense It started as a game. Four people, four players. Fifty priceless gold artifacts-Egyptian art objects-were coming to New York for the first time. Claudia, Peter, Charles, and Sharon thought they found a way to remove some of them and commit the perfect crime. Then on that night in April, it stopped being a game. And five priceless objects were stolen from the exhibit. From that moment on, lives changed, friends became enemies, and the perfect crime became the perfect avenue for treachery and murder.
