Money and murder go hand in glove in the rarified art world of Reba White Williams's exciting first novel, RESTRIKE.
Cousins Coleman and Dinah Greene moved from North Carolina to New York after college to make their mark on the art world. Coleman is the editor of an influential arts magazine and Dinah is the owner of a print gallery in Greenwich Village. But their challenges are mounting as one of Coleman's writers is discovered selling story ideas to a competitor and The Greene Gallery is in the red because sales are down.
When billionaire Heyward Bain arrives with a glamorous assistant, announcing plans to fund a fine print museum, Coleman is intrigued and plans to get to know Bain and publish an article about him. Dinah hopes to sell him enough prints to save her gallery. At the same time, swindlers, attracted by Bain's lavish spending, invade the print world to grab some of his money.
When a print dealer dies in peculiar circumstances, Coleman is suspicious, but she can't persuade the NYPD crime investigator of a connection between the dealer's death and Bain's buying spree. After one of Coleman's editors is killed and Coleman is attacked, the police must acknowledge the connection, and Coleman becomes even more determined to discover the truth about Bain. In an unforgettable final scene, Coleman risks her life to expose the last deception threatening her, her friends, and the formerly tranquil print world.

      Williams's absorbing first mystery follows the adventures of cousins and close friends Coleman and Dinah Greene (first seen in 2007's privately published Angels) in the New York art scene. While Coleman, the editor of ArtSmart magazine, tries to figure out how rival publication Artful Californian is stealing her material, Dinah struggles to keep afloat an unprofitable print gallery financed by her husband. Both are intrigued when billionaire art collector Heyward Bain announces plans to create a new art museum. Their interest turns to suspicion when, following Heyward's astonishingly high winning bid for a rare Winslow Homer print, it emerges that the print's owner, Jimmy La Grange, has been murdered. As Coleman's involvement in the case deepens, she befriends handsome ex-cop Robert Mondelli, who specializes in recovering stolen artworks. Williams treats readers to fascinating details of the art world before a colorful climax set at the Beaux Arts Ball. This is the first title from Delos Fiction, which provides self-publishing services to its authors. Agent: Emma Sweeney, Emma Sweeney Agency, LLC.
