About this ebook
The perfect mystery for fans of Ally Carter's Heist Society
When sixteen-year-old Violet agrees to spend the summer with her father, an up-and-coming artist in Seattle, she has no idea what she's walking into. Her father's newest clients, the Yamada family, are the victims of a high-profile art robbery: van Gogh sketches have been stolen from their home, and, until they can produce the corresponding painting, everyone's lives are in danger--including Violet's and her father's.
Violet's search for the missing van Gogh takes her from the Seattle Art Museum, to the yakuza-infested streets of Tokyo, to a secluded inn in Kyoto. As the mystery thickens, Violet's not sure whom she can trust. But she knows one thing: she has to solve the mystery--before it's too late.

This book was amazing to me! It showed a great story about how working together as a team can solve a mystery. It also shows that u shouldn't be afraid to let out your feelings. Violet was the main character in this book and of course my favorite character. She reached her goal by the end of the book which made me really happy! I highly suggest reading this book because you will absolutely love it!!!
