    About this ebook

    "Thriller enthusiasts will want to add this well-sculpted heist drama to their collections." —Kirkus Reviews

    It was supposed to be a simple heist. But running with art thieves could get them killed.

    San Francisco. Disgraced investigative journalist Camden Swanson spends his nights guzzling beer and penning nonsensical poetry. Forced into working as a museum guard after writing a drug-addled story that lost him his job, his life takes a wild twist when he’s offered a huge sum to help steal his employer’s prized Matisse statues. But when someone else mysteriously snatches the sculptures first, Camden’s beautiful benefactor accuses him of the crime and demands he return them … or die.
    Unable to persuade the vengeful femme fatale that he didn’t double-cross her, Camden engages the help of Veronica Zarcarsky, a recent journalism school grad. When they discover a shocking secret and everything they’ve learned turns out to be a lie, Swanson suffers a brutal attack and his partner is nearly murdered. Can the ragtag duo crack the case before they end up in the obituaries?

    Michael Ostrowski

    Michael Ostrowski is the author of the internationally acclaimed novel A Model Community. Born and raised in Lynn, Massachusetts, he has degrees from Boston University and Emerson College. The inspiration for Lost in the Fog came from working as a museum gallery attendant, where he would combat boredom by scribbling nonsensical poems in a tiny notebook to the dismay of his supervisors. While he spent many years getting lost in the fog in San Francisco, he currently resides in sunny Honolulu.
