The real-life 1990 theft of paintings currently valued at half a billion dollars from Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and never recovered provides the backdrop for Hosp's overly ambitious art world thriller. In the present day, lawyer Scott Finn thinks he's just helping an old friend, Devon Malley, out of a jam by representing Malley after Malley is arrested for knocking off a high-end clothing store. But when prominent members of Boston's criminal underworld, all of whom have connections to Malley, start turning up dead and show hallmarks of IRA-style torture, Finn realizes he has a much bigger case on his hands. Twenty years earlier, Devon helped rob the Gardner museum along with ex-IRA operative Liam Kilbranish, who has returned to exact revenge on the people he believes hid the paintings. Despite the promising premise, Hosp (_Innocence_) quickly gets mired in myriad needless side plots, all of which distract from the allure of the famous heist. (Jan.)

From
Hosp's latest Scott Finn legal thriller is inspired by the true story of a daring art heist that took place in Boston in 1990. The case, still unsolved, involved the theft of nearly half a million dollars' worth of paintings from a museum. In this rendering of the case, Finn, a Boston attorney, stumbles onto the solution to the mystery when his investigations on behalf of a client, a professional crook, take him deep into the city's criminal underworld. Finn, who used to live in that same underworld, must now confront his own personal history on the wrong side of the law, while doing whatever it takes to keep himself alive. The novel is sharply written, and fans of the Martin Scorsese movie The Departed will note a similar feel here: Hosp blurs the line between good and bad, right and wrong. This could be the best of the Finn novels and should draw new readers to the earlier volumes (including Innocence, 2007). --David Pitt
