Sky Trap: A Lust, Money & Murder Short Novel

She has one flight to stop a fake-money operation… laundering millions in the sky.

A criminal running a flying art gallery.

A luxury jet used to launder counterfeit cash.

And one U.S. Secret Service agent with just hours to break the case wide open.

Elaine Brogan knows exactly what’s at stake when she boards a luxurious private jet, undercover as a flight attendant. Hidden inside high-end painting crates aren’t just forged Picassos—they’re stuffed with near-perfect counterfeit $100 bills. Bills so real, electronic scanners at banks can't tell the difference.

The jet is part of an ongoing laundering scheme, flying wealthy “buyers” out over international waters to quietly exchange crypto for fake cash—then landing wherever the trail can’t be followed. And Elaine is the only person alive who can visually confirm the bills are fake and transmit proof before the next shipment disappears.

With backup from her trusted partner Luna Faye—and a last-resort tip from Giorgio Cattoretti, one of the world’s most dangerous criminals—Elaine sets out to expose the operation midair. But when the mission goes south, Elaine and Luna find themselves far above the reach of any rescue.

Sky Trap is a taut, high-stakes thriller in the Lust, Money & Murder universe, featuring fan-favorite agent Elaine Brogan in a race against time, lies, and gravity itself.
