Young Blood and Old Paint
Tommy McNaul is an FBI agent with twenty-five years of service, a firm sense of law and order, a beautiful Irish wife, and a passion for fine art. He risks them all one snowy night when he and his partner, Kate Bacon, lead a sting operation in Boston. Their mission is to recover Vermeer's "The Concert,"
stolen from the Isabella Gardner Stewart Museum in 1995.
The sting erupts in a blaze of gunfire, and Tom's life spins out of control. Forced into retirement from the FBI, and pursued by elements of the Boston mob, Tom seeks refuge in his native homeland of New Mexico. He teams up with his estranged older brother, Willie, an ex-marine turned private detective living in Santa Fe.
Tom and Willie plan to pursue local cases of art forgery and theft, but the murder of a young gallery worker hurls them into the dark, violent world of international art crime. Tom finds himself increasingly torn. Is he still a man of law and order, or does he belong in the darker world of justice and vengeance?

Praise for this book
In an era of cookie-cutter plots and characters, Young Blood pulses with welcome, witty originality. Combined with a setting in quirky, historic Santa Fe, the story moves to a brisk and unexpected conclusion. Action, suspense, intrigue, and a smidgeon of romance make this look at the dangerous
business of art theft and counterfeiting a memorable read. It's just what I like in a mystery.
William Frank has a seasoned storyteller's gift for creating memorable plot twists. I was hooked from the first page.
