Heist of the Olympians - Paperback

by A. Young-Irving (Author)

A devastating secret ...

HEIST OF THE OLYMPIANS is a gripping tale of friendship and sacrifice, where love fuels courage and justice knows no boundaries.

When four best friends, fellow art docents at the PALLAS Museum in Los Angeles, uncover a terrible secret, they take matters into their own hands and concoct a daring scheme-an audacious art heist that blurs the lines between justice and crime.

For a modicum of courage, they assume the alter egos of their favorite Greek gods and goddesses. Angel, an astute art nerd secretly struggling with impostor syndrome, channels the wisdom and strategy of the goddess Athena to mastermind the heist. Lorelei, a free-spirited naturopath crumbling under the weight of chronic illness and financial strain, embodies the goddess Demeter, seeking healing amidst chaos. Shivonne, a former ballerina trapped in an abusive marriage to an undercover cop, recalls Persephone, battling her infernal Hades. And Luke, a flamboyant graduate student still scarred by the gay conversion therapy of his youth, dons the cloak of Hermes, god of mischief ... and thievery.

But where gods and goddesses are present, so, too, are the Fates, those spiteful bitches who love to scheme and interfere, and one overzealous FBI agent about to discover that one should never underestimate the underdog or tell a woman she's past her prime.

Will the Olympians' audacious gambit succeed, or will their aspirations crumble in the face of perilous odds? Only time will tell, and Father Time is a notorious thief himself.

HEIST OF THE OLYMPIANS is an emotional rollercoaster ride that explores the devastating beauty-and the beautiful devastation-of human nature pushed to its limits.
