14. The Picasso Heist by James Patterson and Howard Roughan

This is one of his better books that isn't part of a recurring series. The story centers around an unknown Picasso painting found in the attic of a French woman who died. The picture is going to auction and is expected to command $100 million. One young woman and her brother plan a swindle using a fake copy of the painting involving a famous clothes designers, two mob bosses, a Chinese mobster, an ambitious district attorney, and the FBI. There's a reason for the swindle that involves her father being in prison.

There are plenty of twists and turns involving the characters and it might seem a bit confusing but in the end it all comes together.
