Aurélie

An art thief hired to steal copies of Hokusai's Great Wave must free an original woodblock print from a radioactive safe left abandoned in the wake of the 2011 Japan tsunami.

Aurélie is a fast-paced, tightly plotted modern noir short story from the author of the novels Shirker, Electric, Heaven and Departure Lounge.
