Stolen (The Dog Walker #3)

Jane Ashcroft swore she was done with the life that once defined her—heists, forgeries, the rush of stealing priceless art. In Santa Fe, she finally tastes something like quiet mornings walking dogs, evenings with her trusted dog Fable and her ally R, and the illusion of an ordinary future.

Then her old friend, Margot, lures her back. The job is a single painting worth tens of millions, and the dangerous thrill Jane thought she’d left behind. But what begins as one more flawless score unravels into a maze of double-crosses. Margot—once her closest confidante—has her own secrets. Others in Jane’s circle are playing their own game. And the one prize Jane can’t live without is stolen to force her hand.

She wants out. Instead, betrayal tightens like a noose, pulling her deeper until the final reckoning leaves no one untouched.

A psychological thriller of high-stakes art theft and shifting loyalties, The Dog Stolen follows one woman drawn back to the only life she swore she’d never live again—until betrayal makes escape impossible.
