The woman is Bobby Sleeper, a fellow Eastern European and an erstwhile art gallerist with a mysterious background and even more mysterious filmmaker husband. Within days the couple hire Viva as their assistant, then enlist her as an accomplice in an improbable scheme involving a longlost Vermeer masterwork, a multimilliondollar reward, and several shadowy exhusbands.As Bobby and her husband weave her ever more tightly into their web, Viva is swept up in an escapade thats one part art heist, one part love triangle, and one part education of a felon.
