In Dublin FBI Agent Colin Donovan proposes
to his partner Emma Sharpe, who agrees to marry him (see Declan's Cross). Now home, following a jog Emma returns to their
apartment while her fiancé is out when she receives a mysterious call from
Rachel Bristol. The filmmaker asks the
Fed to meet her on Bristol Island in Boston Harbor. Rachel promises to provide Emma with info related
to a cold case art theft tied to the investigation her small FBI unit and her
family-owned Maine-based Sharpe Fine Art Recovery are conducting in New England
and Ireland.
Ignoring her boss Yankowski’s warning for her to be extremely
cautious since she is a Sharpe, Emma arrives at the rendezvous location only to
find Rachel dead. In the victim’s hands
is a cross that Emma knows is a replica of the
first theft by a clever thief who leaves these mementos behind to remind the
agent of the unsuccessful pursuit by her and her grandfather for years.
The fifth
fabulous Donovan and Sharpe FBI art restoration romantic
thriller (see Heron's Cove and Saint's Gates) is a suspense-filled terse entry. The action starts immediately and never slows
down while the expanding cast continues to enhance the drama though one needs a
scorecard. Included with Harbor Island
is the first printing of previously released as an e-novella Rock Point
starring Father Finian who arrives in Maine where he and FBI agent Colin
Donovan meet as the priest learns of violent smugglers using his family's
distillery.
