Written by Carla Neggers

Narrated by Carol Monda

An FBI legend, a mysterious antiquities specialist and a brazen art thief draw top FBI agents Emma Sharpe and Colin Donovan into a complex web of blackmail, greed, and murder in the eagerly awaited new novel in the highly acclaimed Sharpe & Donovan series

Emma Sharpe is suspicious when retired Special Agent Gordon Wheelock, a legend in FBI art crimes, drops by her Boston office for a visit. Gordy says he's heard rumors about stolen ancient mosaics. Emma, an art crimes specialist herself, won't discuss the rumors. Especially since they involve Oliver York, an unrepentant English art thief. Gordy and Emma's grandfather, a renowned private art detective, chased Oliver for a decade. Gordy knows Wendell Sharpe didn't give him everything he had on the thief. Even now, Oliver will never be prosecuted.

When a shocking death occurs, Emma is drawn into the investigation. The evidence points to a deadly conspiracy between Wendell and Oliver, and Emma's fiancé, deep cover agent Colin Donovan, knows he can't stay out of this one. He also knows there will be questions about Emma's role and where her loyalties lie.

From Boston to Maine to Ireland, Emma and Colin track a dangerous killer as the lives of their family and friends are at stake. With the help of their friend, Irish priest Finian Bracken, and Emma's brother, Lucas, the Sharpes and Donovans must band together to stop a killer.

No one creates exciting, action-packed romantic suspense and international intrigue like New York Times bestselling author Carla Neggers.

Reviews for Liar's Key

[readafew · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This is the first book I’ve read about Sharpe & Donovan even though it is the 6th book in the series. The good news is, you don’t really need to read the previous books to enjoy this one, but if you are really interested in the series, I would say start at the beginning, I think there is a lot of history that could make this one even more enjoyable.Agent Emma Sharp works for the FBI on a special task force that deals with art crimes. Her family has also been known for doing investigations into art, since her grandfather had started an art detective agency decades before she was born. The FBI was able to convince her to come work for them. Emma’s old boss Gordon Wheelock (Special Agent: retired) paid her a visit on the pretense he had some information to give her, but it felt much more like he was on a fishing expedition, looking for clues to a personal investigation. Emma was more frustrated with the man than anything, but felt obligated to start looking into the matter.The clues also point at a possible connection/problem with her families open house, as they were having a grand opening of the newly refurbished offices. Even her grandad was coming back from Ireland for the occasion. He hadn’t been back since his wife had died 10 years previously.Oliver York is also in the mix and that is never a good thing as far as Emmer or her new boss is concerned. They are all fairly confident he is an unrepentant art thief and the only reason he’s is free is they haven’t been able to find the actual proof of the crimes. Apparently MI5 has it’s claws in him which can make things a little more awkward as well.Antiquities are a hotbed for illegal sales, as a way for terrorist organizations to raise money for their nefarious purposes. The rumors seem to be suggesting that someone has been helping facilitate these deals and has been getting away with it. Emma and her FBI fiance Collin, have stepped up to try and put truth to rumor or quell them as nonsense.I found this to be a decent book, and I enjoyed reading it. I would not pass on the opportunity to read another one from the series. I think I would like to read one of the earlier books. Though I have to say that my favorite character in this book was Oliver York.
