Masquerade - Burton Shirley

A stunning crash and grab from scaffolding at the Louvre comes to light seven years later. The league of criminals resurfaces as Interpol is alerted to the gang's activity and their planned pursuit to steal Napoleon's treasures.

The daring new plan is afoot at a spectacular costumed masquerade gala to honor King Louis XVI of the French Revolution, with the theft of historical gold swords to be witnessed unknowingly by the celebrating audience.

Interpol coordinates a covert operation of a team of protagonists to expose the ring. The case escalates when a key player pleads for help from Interpol. He is threatened with exposure, risking the museum's and his family's integrity.

The secrets, greed, and infighting of the crime ring culminate at the lavish gala.
