Beyond Good and Evil is the first novel in the series of the same name. It tells the story of the ingenious theft of six Picasso masterpieces along with two of fellow cubist Georges Braques' from a museum in Sweden, their journey across Europe, and their pursuit by Gandalf Dalin, the Wizard, Rikspolisstyrelsen (Swedish National Police), Interpol, Special Branch of the Police Service of Northern Ireland, the FBI, and Kelly O'Neill. Perhaps of more interest, however, it tells the story how Keagan and Kelly - two former IRA fundraisers; Niles - a former captain in 14 Int, Unit 22 of the SAS, who once tried to capture Keagan and Kelly; and Teal - a Cajun, on the lam from south Lu-zee-ana with his ten-year old daughter all came together at an inn in Lake Placid called Beyond Good and Evil.

Synopsis As Iraq is being invaded, Baghdadis brake into the National Museum and cart off whatever they can carry. In all, they loot more than 15,000 pieces of art and antiquity. Finding 103 Sumerian cylinder seals, the museum's most valuable collection is the team's next project. This time they really have their work cut out for them because three Special Forces units are also trying to find the seals. The villains want to sell them for $25 million; the Iranians want to score a political coup; and the Coalition Task Force wants to return them. The Iranians have already tried to kidnap Kelly, and the villains would like to see her dead as well. Add to the mix, the CIA (ours and Canada's), the Montreal Police, the Mounties, and a devious, smooth-talking PI, and you'll understand why Kelly calls this one a grand cockup.
